Burma: Political Economy Under Military Rule

The radical political and economic changes which were expected to follow from the fall of the autarkic regime of the Burma Socialist Program party have not occurred. A reinvigorated military regime has ruled for more than a decade despite international condemnation. International authorities on Burma's political economy investigate the causes of Burma's political and economic stagnation, factors behind the failure of international efforts to bring about change, and the activities of democratic forces within the country. Taylor taught politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and is now an independent consultant. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
