{"product_id":"9784814002450","title":"Unraveling Myanmar's Transition","description":"The optimism provoked by Myanmar’s political reforms in 201112 has now given way to a sense that the uneven nature of change in this nation of 54 million has lead to instability and uncertainty.\u003cbr\u003eThe liberalization of critical sectors and expansion of certain freedomssuch as political and legal opportunities for expression and mobilizationcontrasts with the entrenchment of structural problems. It becomes ever more difficult to tackle ethnic marginalization and conflict, over-dependence on natural resource extraction, inadequate public services, and problems of under-capacity in the civilian bureaucracy.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is the build up of a toxic environment in which classism, racism, and bigotry threaten to rend Myanmar’s already delicate social fabric.\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to this volume bring unique perspectives and methodologies to bear to unravel Myanmar’s tangled challenges. Whether it is through studying corruption by analyzing the country’s real estate bubble, assessing civil society advocacy capacity against extractive industries, or gauging the strengthand surprising weaknessof Myanmar’s military, the volume employs unconventional approaches and analytical rigor to address a fundamental question: is Myanmar itself unraveling?","brand":"京都大学学術出版会","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48514547056944,"sku":"","price":4510.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.maruzenjunkudo.co.jp\/products\/9784814002450","provider":"丸善ジュンク堂書店ネットストア","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
