Chapter Chapter 1 in Regime Changes and Socio-economic History of Rural Myanmar, 1986-2019, 2023, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter begins by presenting the two themes of the book, first, de-agrarianisation, and second, the absence of village collectives in Myanmar. The chapter then reviews the evolution of Myanmar’s political regimes and economic systems since the country’s independence. It will be shown that changes in Myanmar’s political regimes do not necessarily coincide with changes in Myanmar’s economic systems. Finally, this chapter introduces the structure of the book and concludes with a chronology of Myanmar’s political economy, especially agricultural and rural affairs.
