Burma In Revolt: Opium and Insurgency Since 1948
Great Game East: India, China, and the Struggle for Asia's Most Volatile Frontier
Burma 2012: Democracy and Dictatorship
The triumphant tour of Europe by Burmese prodemocracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been a boost to the forces for change in a country that came under iron-fisted military rule half a century ago. She was received with almost the same honour as a head of state in Switzerland, Norway, Britain, Ireland, and France, where she met leading statesmen, government officials, prominent human-rights activists and even royals. Today, there is an air of optimi…
Laos: At the Crossroads
There was no diversion in 2007 from the policy directions set down by the Eighth Congress of the ruling Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) in March 2006. The Lao People's Democratic Republic will remain a one-party state with old-style, Soviet-era political institutions, while encouraging free enterprise and foreign investment. The outcome has been a remarkable political stability, and an impressive economic performance. The economy has been…
Chinese Advance in the South Pacific: Entrepreneurs Undaunted by Papua New Guinea Dangers
There is nothing wrong or unusual about the food at Ang's Chinese restaurant. In fact, the roast duck served there is excellent, and the Lonely Planet's guidebook assures you that its hot-and-sour soup is special. It's just the way the place looks. The yard is surrounded by high walls with razor wire and surveillance cameras. Two security guards watch the entrance and open the sliding gate only if customers, in their vehicle, appear to be genuine…
Chinese Organised Crime
Secret societies have always been endemic to Chinese overseas communities, surviving on fear and corruption and prospering through their involvement in a wide range of legal and illegal businesses. For many years, Hong Kong was seen as the 'capital' of this worldwide Chinese criminal fraternity and, in the 1980s, many outside observers and analysts thought the gangs that were based in the then British colony would leave once it reverted to Chines…
Laos: Mired in Economic Stagnation
Introduction By most accounts, 2002 was a politically quiet year for Laos. Unlike previous years, there were no student protests or bomb explosions in capital, Vientiane, and no reported rebel raids against army and police outposts. President Khamtay Siphandone's government grip on power appeared absolute with no open dissent in ranks. Elections to National Assembly were held on 24 February, and government claimed, 2.5 million eligible voters nat…

Developments in Burma
Burma and its Neighbours
By Bertil Lintner An Overview The importance of the “China card” in western strategic thinking began to decline in the mideighties as the dynamic Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev launched his daring economic policies and, in their wake, completely overturned Moscow’s traditional foreign policy. World-wide detente made the Soviet Union a dialogue partner, not an enemy, from the West’s point of view. Meanwhile, China was becoming an increasingly emb…
The Rise and Fall of the Communist Party of Burma (CPB)
Land of Jade: A Journey Through Insurgent Burma
The Rise and Fall of the Communist Party of Burma (CPB)
A well-documented and extremely engaging account of the Burmese Communist Party that details the development of the Party and the events and forces that led to the 1989 Mutiny and subsequent fall of the CPB. This study explores the ethnic tensions that influenced the attitudes of the rank-and-file members, the support and influence of the Chinese Communist Party, the Party's involvement in the drug trade, and the complex, antagonistic relationshi…
The Shans and the Shan State of Burma
The fourth of January 1984 marked not only 36 years of independence of the Union of Burma from Britain, but also the anniversary of just as many years of civil war, strife, and insurgency. Since 1948, more than a dozen rebel armies ? claiming to represent one national minority or another ? have been fighting to obtain autonomy or, in certain cases, complete secession from the Union. The most crucial of all these national rebellions is probably th…
