About Book

This book critically examines the relationship between the Burmese central government and the ethnic minority states of Burma, focusing on the processes of devolution, occupation, and attempts at coexistence. It explores how ethnic groups struggle for autonomy within the broader framework of state control, analyzing the complexities of governance, resistance, and the tension between ethnic identities and national unity. The author sheds light on the challenges of political authority in a deeply divided society, where peaceful coexistence remains elusive amidst a backdrop of military occupation and political marginalization.
