Spaces of extraction: governance along the riverine 246 networks of Nyaunglebin District Ken MacLean 12. Identifying conservation issues in Kachin State 271 Tint Lwin Thaung ..... Despite deteriorating economic and developmental conditions, worsening environmental problems, and troubles arising from the unresolved status of its ethnic minorities, Myanmar seems no closer to a political resolution. Myanmarâ�?„?s economy continues to stagnate, with severe implications for its people. Low levels of international assistance have exacerbated the situation. Myanmarâ�"the State, Community and the Environment examines the missed opportunities by government and opposition groups to find a way out of the political impasse and improve the standard of living of the people of Myanmar. This collection provides insights into the countryâ�?„?s economic development, in particular the vital rice-marketing sector and the attempts to expand existing industrial zones. It focuses, for the first time, on Myanmarâ�?„?s environmental governance with in-depth case studies, and on the increasing need for effective environmental protection and sustainability.

Description: "....The Migrant Movements Consultation was a gathering of migrant workers from Burma now working in different places in Thailand that took place in late February 2011 in Chiang Mai organised by MAP Foundation. At the Consultation, migrant workers met with representatives of the labour movements of Cambodia, India, Malaysia, and Thai land to share experiences of building collective movements to defend workers interests against injustice and exploitation. Over the course of two days migrant workers, representing workers associations and community based organisations across the country, and the trade unionists, shared information on different aspects of union organizing ranging from the background of the labour movement in Thailand and strategies for collective bargaining, to the role of women and politics in trade unionism. The current political situation in Burma has consistently prevented the development of an independent labour movement for over half a century. The purpose of the Migrant Movements Consultation was to develop greater understanding between trade unions and migrant workers, to provide some information and skills for migrant workers to negotiate their rights with employers and stand up for the interests of their co-workers. In the future, when Burma is free, migrant workers who have developed an understanding of labour organizing in Thailand, can return home and help build a new independent labour movement, building solidarity among all the workers of Burma. ...."

Description: "...The 2002 meeting should serve as a model for future Burma Studies events in at least four ways. Firstly, rather than being centred at a single location, different venues should be sought for the biannual Burma Studies Group meetings, chosen on the basis of their overall attractiveness and accessibility to the widest range of participants. Secondly, people with diverse Burma-related interests and experiences should be proactively included, not only academics. Thirdly, the four-day format should be maintained, so that participants can get to know each other and their viewpoints. Finally, political neutrality should be preserved and financial support thus accepted from reputable sources only. Gothenburg was an excellent venue, a city with a pleasant physical environment and a truly ?civil? society."
