- Description
- Series Description
- Burma has been in the news constantly since the elections of 2011; vital elections of 2015 will ensure that it remains a point of discussion
- Aung San Suu Kyi's recent trip to the U.S. was hailed as a "global symbol of progress" and focused U.S. attention on Burma
It is unlikely that any country in Asia in recent years has undergone such internal policy shifts in so short a time as Myanmar. Until recently, the former British colony had one of the most secretive, corrupt, and repressive regimes on the planet, a country where Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was held in continual house arrest and human rights were denied to nearly all.
The perfect primer for complex current event issues and countries…
Oxford University Press’s What Everyone Needs to Know® (WENTK) series offers a balanced and authoritative primer on complex current event issues and countries, spanning across popular topics and disciplines including Politics, Economics, Sciences, and Religion. WENTKs are written by leading experts in their fields and provide, in a straight-forward question-and-answer format, insight in such a way that students and scholars alike can stay up-to-date on the most important topics leading the discussion today in politics, health, global affairs, and more.
