"In the following, we review certain economic aspects of Supporting Burma/Myanmar?s National Reconciliation Process: Challenges and Opportunities, a self-labelled ‘Independent Report? prepared for the European Commission by Professor Robert Taylor and Mr Morten Pedersen. We largely confine our comments to economic considerations, but within this sphere we find that the Report has numerous and severe limitations. Due largely to a scarcity of time, our comments are to a certain extent preliminary, and will be developed further in a subsequent issue of BEW that will address this and other recent reports on Burma?s economy. Feel free to use the following in ways you find useful, though for academic purposes we regard this ‘review? as very much a ‘working draft? at present. Of course, we welcome comments.
