Burma : a nation at the crossroads

Auteur :
ROGERS, B.

Description :
For more than 50 years, Burma has been ruled by a succession of military regimes which rank among the most oppressive dictatorship in the world. Accused of crimes against humanity, they have brutally mistreated their people. Drawing on his many fact finding visits, the author assesses Burma’s turbulent past and the implications of its complex present. He reveals what is really happening inside this secretive and potentially prosperous country. Since 2011, an apparently civilian government, military in essence, has taken a breathtaking new path and has engaged with major ethnic groups to negotiate general cease fire and a political end to the rebellion which affects Burma since 1948. - (GL)
