My new book titled ‘Myanmar: A Political History’ has just been published by the Oxford University Press (OUP). A formal book launch event will be organized probably sometime in July or August, with the Vice President of India expected to be in attendance. Below is a brief summary of the book and potential readership as carried by OUP Canada website.

Myanmar: A Political History examines the politico-historical antecedents of contemporary Myanmar: from colonial rule to the establishment of its first civilian government; the subsequent fall into military dictatorship; and the transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic government. Kipgen weaves in its relations with the United States, Myanmar’s political, economic, and military connect with China; India-Myanmar relations in the context of India’s Look East policy; and Myanmar’s cooperation problems on human rights within the ASEAN. Lucid and well researched, this book is a valuable guide to those interested in the future of Myanmar as well as South and Southeast Asia, to understand the historical knowledge as to how different political actors played differing roles in the country’s transition across governments.

Readership: Scholars and libraries of departments of Political Science, International Relations, History and Area Studies. Journalists, think-tanks, administrators, policy-makers interested in Myanmar.
