What has followed has not proved so straightforward. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes stock of the mutations, continuities and fractures at the heart of today’s political and economic transformations, and asks many questions. What has changed under a democratically elected government? Where are the obstacles to reform? And is there scope to foster a more prosperous and inclusive Myanmar? With the peace process faltering, over 1 million people displaced by recent violence, and ongoing army dominance in key areas of decision-making, the chapters in this volume identify areas of possible reform within the constraints of Myanmar’s hybrid civil–military governance arrangements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume continues a long tradition of intense, critical engagement with political, economic and social questions in one of Southeast Asia’s most complicated countries.
