| Summary: |
Also known as Myanmar, Burma is perhaps the most strife-torn and politically isolated nation in Southeast Asia. Some experts refer to it as a rogue state, since it has been ruled for several decades by a military junta which tolerates no opposition and has one of the worst human rights records in the world. In terms of natural resources, Burma ranks among the wealthiest countries, but how those resources will be managed long-term is uncertain. This program explores the "Republic of the Union of Myanmar" by focusing on its environmental richness as well as its economic disparities, its troubled history, and its brutal political climate. Activists and scholars from a wide range of disciplines provide commentary. |
