Myanmar — 75 Years after Independence: A Planetary Reading

Charney, Michael W.

Abstract

What is the dominant academic narrative about Myanmar, 75 years on from its full independence? Has the tendency to obsess with politics and related developments created an incomplete, impoverished and patchy corpus of knowledge about the country? In this inaugural post marking ‘Myanmar @ 75’, Michael W. Charney offers a ‘planetary reading’ of the history of Myanmar.
