Description

Explore the complex history of Myanmar (Burma) and the reasons behind its economic challenges. Despite being a nation rich in vital resources like timber, minerals, and rice, the country has faced a descent into least developed country status. This Routledge publication examines whether the roots of this decline lie within the nation or in external forces. The text analyzes several contributing factors, including political authoritarianism, ongoing conflict, and the impact of the drugs trade. However, the core focus remains on the mismanagement of the country's natural resources. By investigating how these resources have been misused, the book provides a clear look at the developmental failures experienced since 1962. This is an essential read for students and professionals interested in international business, finance, and the economic history of Southeast Asia.
