Ebook: Burma: The Challenge of Change in a Divided Society

Burma...confronts this issue by acknowledging the validity of contrasting and even conflicting opinions.' - Daw Aung San Suu Kyi An up-to-date collection of essays by leading academics and Burma specialists covering some of the key economic, ethnic, political and social problems which currently confront Burma.
