Rezension zu „Burma Redux “
In the Western mind, Burmese politics is characterized by a struggle between a rapacious military elite and a gentle, freedom-loving democrat. There is some truth to this view. But more is needed to understand the country and to help its people, and this excellent book -- a rare combination of history, social science, and normative political theory -- provides the rest. -- Daniel A. Bell, Tsinghua University As both the United States and the European Union have announced their intention to engage with the new administration in Myanmar, Ian Holliday's timely and well-focused study provides important background and scholarly guidance justifying intervention on human rights grounds. The strategy proposed of grassroots engagement particularly utilizing neighboring states, international agencies and multinational corporations is well argued and persuasive. The author recognizes that practical difficulties will require determination and high-level persuasion, not least in regional diplomacy. This is an important contribution, from a refreshingly new perspective. -- Derek Tonkin, Network Myanmar
