  • Languages of Myanmar in Cyberspace
    Languages of Myanmar in Cyberspace Wunna Ko Ko, Dr. Mikami Yoshiki Key Words: Myanmar Languages, Computerization, Myanmar Script Abstract There are a total of 111 languages spoken by the people living in Myanmar. Among them, the top language groups are Myanmar (Burmese), Shan, Kayin(Karen), Rakhine, Mon, Chin and Kachin. The earliest stone inscription of Myanmar and Mon languages can be found on MyaZeDi Stone inscription (AD 1113). There are long history of printing and publishing in Myanmar languages. Computerization also has been started long ago. It is still not sufficient enough to localize basic software into Myanmar languages and present in cyberspace. Myanmar Character Code (with Extension for ethnic languages) has been allocated in UCS/Unicode (U+1000 – U+109F). Many people have put effort since long time ago to develop Myanmar Character Codes and Fonts but the limited cooperation between international organizations, experts, venders and local end users slowed implementation of Myanmar languages (Burmese language and the Ethnic languages). This paper mainly emphasizes on the necessary cooperation among the developers, venders and local end users. Outline of the paper This paper overview the diversify world of writing system and give historical overview on the evaluation of computer usage in Myanmar and on Burmese language. After reviewing the off-line printing and the computerization history, the objective of this paper is to propose active agenda for digital divide on how to move forward on localization of Burmese scripts. In section 1, the languages spoken by the people living in Myanmar is described. It also contains the development history of Burmese language and other selected major language groups.

  • Asymmetric Bargaining Between Myanmar and China in the Myitsone Dam Controversy: Social Opposition As David’S Stone Against Goliath Sze Wan Debby CHAN 1
    Asymmetric Bargaining between Myanmar and China in the Myitsone Dam Controversy: Social Opposition as David’s Stone against Goliath Sze Wan Debby CHAN 1 In May 2011, the Sino-Burmese relations was elevated to a “comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership”. Soon after that, the unilateral suspension the China-backed Myitsone Dam by President Thein Sein has redefined the bilateral ties. What made Burma renege on its commitment which could entail innumerable compensation? This research employs the two-level game theory in analysing the Myitsone Dam controversy. Based on dozens of interviews conducted in Burma, I argue that the halt of the project was not entirely a voluntary defection of the Burmese government. Amid democratisation in the country, the “Save the Irrawaddy” campaign against the dam was able to galvanise nationwide support through a series of awareness raising activities in 2011. With the rise of audience cost in Burma, China gradually conceded that the quasi-civilian government could no longer ignore societal actors in relation to foreign investment projects. Since 2012, China has been actively engaging with the opposition and civil society organisations in Burma. China’s new diplomatic approach reflects the importance of social opposition in the international dispute. The Myitsone Dam case may have a wider application of using social opposition as bargaining resources in asymmetric international negotiations outside the China-Burma context. Introduction In face of the popular ‘Save the Ayeyarwady’ campaign against the construction of the China- backed Myitsone hydropower dam, then Myanmar’s 2 President Thein Sein suspended the project during his tenure on 30 September 2011.

A. Details of current progress achieved towards objectives, keyed to project indicators Specific progress toward objectives: A. Collaborate with YU and PU to develop industry leadership with educational and extension expertise Our relations with both Universities have been excellent. Senior administrators have been most helpful and supportive. Our recommendations and efforts to introduce industry members and build relationships between academics and industry have been met with great acceptance from both sides. Internship program has been well received and we have been able to place students as quickly as we can provide them with some specialized training on what the jobs entail, what to expect as part of their duties, and some guidance on what it means to be an intern and in a paid position. Most of the students have never held a paying job and have not been in the private sector. The faculty of both YU and PU have been fully engaged with the program and have made a point to participate fully with the various workshops and training opportunities we have offered.
