Myanmar in 2014
Myanmar saw some progress in efforts at constitutional amendment and ceasefire negotiations, both pressing issues. Attempts to introduce proportional representation failed in the lower house of Parliament. Critics pointed out stalled reforms. The economy achieved high growth, and foreign direct investment increased. Myanmar reveled in its role as ASEAN chair and host for President Obama’s visit
Myanmar's Economic Reforms
Myanmar saw little economic growth from 1962 to 1988 as it pursued a self-reliant industrialization strategy. Half-hearted economic reforms implemented in the 1990s bred crony capitalism and a rentier economy under military rule. Only in 2011 under the government of President Thein Sein that serious reforms to establish an open market economy were implemented. Consequently, some progress has been made in macroeconomic reforms. Despite achieving h…
Myanmar in 2013
The year 2013 in Myanmar saw parliaments disagreeing with the executive. A joint parliamentary committee to review and amend the Constitution was formed. Western sanctions were virtually withdrawn. A resurgence of communal violence, the emergence of Buddhist nationalism, and public protest over mega-projects, land rights, wage disputes, and freedom to demonstrate were worrisome developments. A nationwide ceasefire agreement remained elusive

Myanmar in 2008
The most significant events for Myanmar in the year 2008 were the devastating tropical Cyclone Nargis that wreaked havoc in the former capital Yangon and the Ayeyarwady Delta and the constitutional referendum that was conducted soon after the disaster. Both elicited strong emotional responses from the military government's detractors at home and abroad. In fact, the tragedy brought about by Nargis provoked a storm of protest and angry calls for h…

Myanmar ́ s Foreign Trade Under Military Rule
After gaining independence from the British in 1948, Myanmar 's economy was heavily dependent upon foreign trade with exports constituting on average some 45 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) during the early 1950s. This proportion fell to around 33 per cent in 1961, the year before the March 1962 military coup that led to 26 years of socialist command economy. During this period, foreign trade became marginalized, despite the fact tha…

Myanmar ́ S Energy Sector Banking on Natural Gas
Commercial energy use in Myanmar was constrained by both supply and demand factors in the second half of the twentieth century and the associated industries such as coal, oil and electricity played a relatively minor role in the nation's economic growth since independence in 1948. In fact, the two oil shocks (in the early 1970s and 1980s) that followed the action by the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to raise oil prices …
Cambodia
In Cambodia 2003 was an election year in which the results of the ballot were apparently not accepted by those who lost the election. The incumbent Prime Minister Hun Sen (the strongman), the opposition leader Sam Rainsy (the terrible man), and the National Assembly president Prince Ranariddh (the invisible man) could not agree upon a satisfactory power-sharing formula, with the latter two joining up in an attempt to deny the former of the countr…
The Essential Tension
The attempts by Myanmar's military rulers to manage political reform since the late 1980s have been at odds with the aspirations of some of the major ethnic groups within Myanmar, as well as the leadership of the National League for Democracy (NLD). Particular issues of intense contention between the military and its detractors have been the nature of the state, and the distribution of power in the (future) democratic state. These in turn revolve…

Myanmar
For Myanmar, 1996 was a year in which constraints to the managed political transition from a one-party socialist rule to a multi-party democracy became apparent in the domestic political scene, while opportunities for closer regional co-operation appeared to have been successfully exploited by the ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). It turned out that the persistant political opposition continued to be a thorny problem for the…

The problematique in the context of state leader ship juxtaposed with national security issues is examined from a historical perspective. This article traces the decline and de mise of the ruling parties in post-independent Myanmar. The parliamentary system of governance apparently failed to maintain political stability in the face of factional struggles within the ruling party and the ascendent interventionist stance of the military.

Burma ́s National Security and Defence Posture
Challenges to Burma's security posed by armed separatist and communist insurgencies since independence in 1948 are examined in relation to the responses and initiatives taken by the tatmadaw [Burmese armed forces). It seems that threat perceptions in the context of such challenges and Burma's strict neutrality in inter national relations, together with budgetary constraints, have shaped the national defence posture. This is reflected in the objec…

Energy Usage in Burmese Agriculture
The early development of the industrialized nations was based on cheap and abundant sources of energy and it is apparent that energy in various forms is essen tial for socio-economic development in general, and industrialization in particular. Although unidirectional causal linkage between GNP (gross national product) and energy consumption has not been satisfactorily demonstrated,1 the strong statis tical relationship between these two variables…
