More about the book
The ongoing struggle for national identity in Myanmar, situated between China and India, is central to understanding its economic and political underdevelopment. This book explores how unresolved issues from the colonial period, particularly regarding ethnic minorities and governance, have hindered modernization. Departing from the usual authoritarian versus democratic narrative, it emphasizes identity formation as a critical factor in the nation's development. Essential for students and professionals in development studies and comparative politics, it highlights Myanmar's potential significance in Asia's future.
