关于此书

在这本富有洞察力且备受好评的书的第一版出版八年后，缅甸仍然是东南亚最混乱的国家之一。当其他国家实现了民主化和繁荣时，缅甸却被一个压制性的军事独裁政权所统治，并且是世界上第二大海洛因生产国。克里斯蒂娜-芬克在这本关于当今缅甸的可读性极强的学术著作中，对军事统治下的生活进行了动人而深刻的描述。通过在国内和国外进行的广泛采访，我们开始了解缅甸的政治和国内形势，并全面理解为什么军事统治持续了这么久。这本经过大幅修订的新版包括带领读者了解当今的行动和叙述，包括2007年引人注目的僧侣示威的影响，这些示威是与前学生活动家和昂山素季的党员协调进行的。该书探讨了该政权继续削弱和分裂民主运动和民族主义组织的企图，并解释了民主运动和民族团体如何寻求实现其目标；部分是通过更紧密的合作。

About This Book

Eight years after the first edition of this insightful and highly regarded book, Burma remains one of the most troubled nations in Southeast Asia. While other countries have democratized and prospered, Burma is governed by a repressive military dictatorship and is the second largest producer of heroin in the world. In this exceptionally readable yet scholarly account of Burma today, Christina Fink gives a moving and insightful picture of what life under military rule is like. Through the extensive interviews conducted inside and outside the country, we begin to understand Burma's political and domestic situation and a comprehensive understanding of why military rule has lasted so long. This significantly revised new edition includes material taking the reader up to present day action and accounts, including the impacts of the dramatic 2007 monks' demonstrations, which were coordinated with former student activists and members of Aung San Suu Kyi's party. The book explores the regime's continued attempts to weaken and divide the democratic movement and the ethnic nationalist organizations and explains how the democratic movement and ethnic groups have sought to achieve their goals; in part, by working more closely together.
