This week’s New Pubs features van Schendel on Bengali influence in South Asia (including reflections on Rohingya); Goodhand et al on drugs, frontier capitalism, and illicit peasantries in Kachin; and Garnett on ASSK as democracy icon and demagogue.

As ever, see our Recent Publications page for all of the citations and for past weeks, and if anyone wants a PDF but is excluded by pay wall, please email us and we will help if we can.
