  • A Kachin Case Study
    MUSEUMS, DIASPORA COMMUNITIES AND DIASPORIC CULTURES A KACHIN CASE STUDY HELEN MEARS PHD 2019 0 Abstract This thesis adds to the growing body of literature on museums and source communities through addressing a hitherto under-examined area of activity: the interactions between museums and diaspora communities. It does so through a focus on the cultural practices and museum engagements of the Kachin community from northern Myanmar. The shift in museum practice prompted by increased interaction with source communities from the 1980s onwards has led to fundamental changes in museum policy. Indeed, this shift has been described as “one of the most important developments in the history of museums” (Peers and Brown, 2003, p.1). However, it was a shift informed by the interests and perspectives of an ethnocentric museology, and, for these reasons, analysis of its symptoms has remained largely focussed on the museum institution rather than the communities which historically contributed to these institutions’ collections. Moreover, it was a shift which did not fully take account of the increasingly mobile and transnational nature of these communities. This thesis, researched and written by a museum curator, was initiated by the longstanding and active engagement of Kachin people with historical materials in the collections of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. In closely attending to the cultural interests and habits of overseas Kachin communities, rather than those of the Museum, the thesis responds to Christina Kreps’ call to researchers to “liberate our thinking from Eurocentric notions of what constitutes the museum and museological behaviour” (2003, p.x). Through interviews with individual members of three overseas Kachin communities and the examination of a range of Kachin-related cultural productions, it demonstrates the extent to which Kachin people, like museums, are highly engaged in heritage and cultural preservation, albeit in ways which are distinctive to normative museum practices of collecting, display and interpretation.

    SECOND NATIONAL REPORT ON UNCCD IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR ( APRIL 2002 ) Contents Page 1. Executive Summary 1 2. Background 3 3. The Strategies and Priorities Established within the Framework of 7 Sustainable Economic Development Plans 4. Institutional Measures Taken to Implement the Convention 9 5. Measures Taken or Planned to Combat Desertification 14 6. Consultative Process in Support of National Action Programme 52 with Interested Entities 7. Financial Allocation from the National Budgets 56 8. Monitoring and Evaluation 58 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The main purpose of this report is to update on the situation in Myanmar with regard to measures taken for the implementation of the UNCCD at the national level since its submission of the first national report in August 2000. 1.2 Myanmar acceded to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in January 1997. Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006). The rural development programme has laid down 5 main activities.

    2.1.12 Myanmar Port of Aunglan Port Overview Port Picture Description and Contacts of Key Companies Port Performance Berthing Specifications General Cargo Handling Berths Port Handling Equipment Container Facilities Customs Guidance Terminal Information Multipurpose Terminal Grain and Bulk Handling Main Storage Terminal Stevedoring Hinterland Information Port Security Port Overview The port of Aunglan in the Magway Region consists of a gravel ramp for ferries located in the centre of Aunglan and a passenger mooring point close to it. At both locations there are no jetties or berths, vessels moor at the riverbank and use gangways for loading and unloading. Most cargo activity happens across the river at Thayet which can only be reached by ferry from Aunglan. The Ayeyawady Bridge (Thayet-Aunglan) is under construction in Thayet District Magway Region and connects Aunglan Town on the east bank of the river with Thayet Town on the west bank of the river. The bridge has a total length of 2,272.5 meter with 8.5-meter-wide road and a meter wide pedestrian path on both side of the bridge. Waterway clearance beneath the bridge was 130 meters wide and 16 meters high. The bridge is an steel frame arch type with AASHTO HS 25-44 loading capacity. The bridge is one of the important bridges that lie on the economic corridor road that connects Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone with Shweli (Ruili) passing through Thayet, Aunglan and Nay Pyi Taw. In terms of cargo movement, this port mostly handles cement and construction materials, while food items and other general supplies are transported by road all year round.

  • Burma's Identity Crisis
    Burma’s identity crisis How ethno-religious nationalism has led to religious intolerance, crimes against humanity and genocide May 2019 Daniel Sinclair/CSW February 2019 For public use Burma’s Identity Crisis Explanatory note CSW has always used the name ‘Burma’, rather than the official name of the country, ‘Myanmar’, and continues to do so. Ever since the military regime changed the name to Myanmar in 1989, one year after the bloody suppression of pro- democracy demonstrations, Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy (NLD), and many of the country’s ethnic nationalities, requested the international community not to adopt the military’s name, arguing that the regime had no mandate to change the name of the country. Although Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD are now in government, it is unclear what their wishes are, and so we tend to use Burma and Myanmar interchangeably, depending on the context. In this report we use Burma throughout, except when directly quoting sources which themselves use Myanmar. Similarly we use the name ‘Rangoon’ for the country’s formal capital and major city, except where the official name ‘Yangon’ is used in direct quotations. Much of the research for this report was conducted first hand by CSW, through visits to Burma and its borders, interviewing ethnic and religious minorities, Buddhist monks, civil society and refugees. However, given the scale of the topic, and limitations on access to some areas, we have referred to information researched and published by other human rights groups and international organisations, notably the United Nations, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Fortify Rights and the Burma Human Rights Network.
