This study examines the dynamics of conflict that have caused internal wars to become so uniquely entrenched in one of Asia's most troubled lands. Against a backdrop of conflict, different nationality movements have been able to adapt and survive, utilizing the changing political, economic, and international conditions in the country. In the process, armed opposition became a way of life in the borderlands, while the central state became increasingly militarized. Burma's conflicts, however, have not been static. This study identifies five major cycles of conflict that have seen the national government transform from a parliamentary democracy at independence through Gen. Ne Win's "Burmese Way to Socialism" to the current military State Peace and Development Council. As the political impasse continues, ethnic ceasefires and open-door economic policies are changing the structures of conflict. In an overview of humanitarian and international dilemmas, the study concludes that conflict resolution-with integrated support from the international community-remains a primary need if Burma and its peoples are to achieve peace, democracy, and a stable nation-state.Ethnic conflictBurmaRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHILCCSoutheast AsiaHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCBurmaEthnic relationsPolitical aspectsBurmaPolitics and government1948-Ethnic conflictRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastSoutheast AsiaHistory & Archaeology305.8009591Smith Martin T., 149932Institute of Southeast Asian StudiesEast West Center WashingtonEast-West Center WashingtonDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910345119803321State of Strife2565204UNINA02889oam 2200769Ka 450 991030664440332120241204160532.097866131191179781283119115128311911097802622955430262295547(CKB)2670000000092756(EBL)3339243(SSID)ssj0000523467(PQKBManifestationID)12212623(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000523467(PQKBWorkID)10540070(PQKB)10569189(StDuBDS)EDZ0000130785(MiAaPQ)EBC3339243(OCoLC)727944821(MdBmJHUP)muse24512(OCoLC)727944821(OCoLC)741452451(OCoLC)816842858(OCoLC)961566519(OCoLC)962685432(OCoLC)1058387877(OCoLC-P)727944821(MaCbMITP)8592(Au-PeEL)EBL3339243(CaPaEBR)ebr10476095(CaONFJC)MIL311911(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/78509(ScCtBLL)b1c80fb0-f96f-469b-8859-3cd05e5adc89(OCoLC)1159394154(oapen)doab78509(EXLCZ)99267000000009275620110601d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrInterfaces on trial 2.0 /Jonathan Band and Masanobu Katoh1st ed.Cambridge, MA MIT Press©20111 online resource (248 p.)Information society seriesDescription based upon print version of record.9780262294461 026229446X 9780262015004 0262015005 Includes bibliographical references and index.The interoperability debate -- Copyright cases in U.S. courts -- Interoperability under the DMCA -- Contractural limitations on reverse engineering -- Interoperability overseas -- The road ahead.This title investigates an often overlooked factor in the development of today's interoperable world - the evolution of copyright law.
