Burma: Prospects for a Democratic Future
Editat de Robert I. Rotbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 1998
This book examines the origins and consequences of Burma's current policies from military, political, social, and economic perspectives.

Other chapters focus on the drug trade (Burma produces more than 60 percent of the world's heroin), the growing role of China as Burma's military and economic "big brother," political culture and democratic traditions, the unsustainable nature of current economic growth, shortfalls in education and health systems, and Burma's potential for foreign investment.
