Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar

More about the book

Focusing on the concept of security in Myanmar/Burma, Helen James explores the interplay between human security and state security, drawing on the UN Development Programme's 1994 report. She argues that the notions of freedom from want and freedom from fear are interconnected, positing that the well-being of the populace and the stability of the state are mutually reinforcing. This analysis highlights the importance of prioritizing human-centric approaches to security in the context of Myanmar's political landscape.
