Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar

More about the book

The exploration of security in Myanmar/Burma emphasizes the interdependence of human security and state security, drawing on the UNDP's 1994 report. Helen James argues that freedom from want and fear are mutually reinforcing, highlighting the need for improved governance and civil society. Her original research delves into critical issues such as economic development, health, education, environmental concerns, human rights, and the drugs trade. Ultimately, she posits that addressing these areas will enhance both state stability and citizen well-being.
