Burma on the brink: complications for U.S. policy in Burma.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the issues and circumstances present in Burma which have complicated and frustrated U.S. counter-narcotics efforts and overall U.S. policy in the past. The thesis attempts to forecast the future of Burma and suggests needed reforms for development. Potential U.S. policy is proposed which accounts for the political instability and economic decline of Burma while remaining within internationally recognized guidelines.
