Yet it remains both economically and politically underdeveloped. Why is this so? We argue that much of the reason has to do with an ongoing struggle for national identity. This struggle involves not only whether the state should be authoritarian or democratic, but how Burma's myriad ethnic minorities should be accommodated within it, what external reference national reference groups the country should identify and align with, and how it should movNational characteristics, BurmeseBurmaPolitics and government1988-BurmaForeign relations1948-Electronic books.National characteristics, Burmese.320.9591Dittmer Lowell268378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463919603321Burma or Myanmar2272902UNINA05572nam 22006974a 450 991014575490332120200220135459.01-280-27125-60-470-86132-097866102712520-470-86325-0(CKB)1000000000018860(EBL)155656(OCoLC)52593225(SSID)ssj0000201889(PQKBManifestationID)11203173(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000201889(PQKBWorkID)10246041(PQKB)11177614(MiAaPQ)EBC155656(EXLCZ)99100000000001886020020730d2003 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMethods for environmental trace analysis[electronic resource] /John R.
