Is the explanation to be found inside Burma or beyond? While political authoritarianism, conflict and the illegal drugs trade have been contributory factors; this book lifts the lid on a potentially more serious factor; the mismanagement of the countrys resources. Publisher Description Why has Myanmar (Burma), a country rich in resources - rice, timber, minerals - descended to least developed country status? Is the explanation to be found inside Burma or beyond? Is the failure of development due to political authoritarianism and conflict? Or perhaps the drugs trade is partly to blame? This book contends that all these factors have contributed. But it also maintains that the mismanagement of the countrys resources is of equal, or even greater, importance. A clear answer to the question of Burmas developmental failure is sought by focussing upon the misuse of resources in concert with those factors that are more usually emphasized.
