Selth, Andrew. “A Myanmar Miscellany: Selected Articles, 2007-2023.” ISEAS, 2024.

About the publication

Andrew Selth has been watching Myanmar for 50 years. During this time, he has published 10 books and more than 400 other works about the country. In 2020, he released a collection of almost 100 articles that had been posted on the Lowy Institute’s Interpreter website. This second anthology brings together another 72 articles, written for a range of outlets between 2007 and 2023. This period saw the installation of a “disciplined democracy” under Aung San Suu Kyi, the 2021 military coup, and the country’s descent into a bitter civil war. Many of the articles in the book deal with international relations and security issues, but there are also works on Myanmar’s history, politics and culture, as well as some personal reminiscences. Together, they make a unique contribution from an Old Myanmar Hand with wide ranging interests and insights.

This week’s New Pubs features Campbell and Ko Maung on workers’ self-organization in post-coup Myanmar as a model of revolutionary democracy; Missbach on Rohingya maritime escapes and the criminalization of those who smuggler/rescue them; and Ge on why China should leave Myanmar’s junta behind.
