"Contemporary maps prepared by the State Peace and Development
Council (SPDC) place most of Nyaunglebin District in eastern Pegu
Division. Maps drawn by the Karen National Union (KNU), however,
place much of the same region within the western edge of Kaw Thoo

to create. Not surprisingly, the district?s three townships have different
names and overlapping geographic boundaries and administrative
structures, particularly in remote regions of the district where the SPDC
and the KNU continue to exercise some control. These competing
efforts to assert control over the same space are symptomatic of a broader
concern that is the focus here, namely: how do conflict zones become
places that can be governed? What strategies and techniques are used
to produce authority and what do they reveal about existing forms
of governance in Burma? In considering these questions, this chapter

which comprises the southern third of Nyaunglebin District (Figure
11.1)..."
