  • Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar
    Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar This book examines security in Myanmar, focusing in particular on Myanmar’s response to the international policies which have impacted on its development since 1988. It analyses the nexus between political poverty and economic poverty, arguing that Myanmar’s endemic poverty is not merely a collection of unenviable socio-economic indices, but it is also a function of ‘political’ poverty and of the lack of ‘capabilities’ for the general population to participate fully in the nation’s governance, resources and future. It demonstrates that freedom from want and freedom from fear (of the regime) are intimately related, and that economic insecurity is a product of the political insecurity that arises from a lack of secure property rights, a modern legal system, an independent judiciary and the opportunity for most citizens to participate fully in the political governance of their country. Helen James is a Visiting Fellow with the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University. She researches Thai and Myanmar history, politics and international relations with particular attention to civil society, human security, governance and sustainable development.
