Summary

This book is a collection of papers originally presented at the 2004 Myanmar/Burma Update Conference organized by the Department of Political & Social Change, the Australian National University Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Canberra, on 18-19 November 2004. In late 2004, Myanmar's best-known general and long-serving leader of the military regime, General Khin Nyunt, was suddenly dismissed. This shock development, perpetrated by a regime that defied all predictions of its demise and disintegration, generated widespread uncertainty both inside and outside the country. This book addresses the issues which arose after this event. (Adapted from back cover).
