Political change in South East Asia
\"Southeast Asia is a vast and complex region, comprised of countries with remarkably diverse histories and cultures. Jacques Bertrand provides a fresh and highly original survey of politics and political change in this area of the world. Against the backdrop of rapid economic development and social transformation in several Southeast Asian countries, he explores why some of these countries have adopted democratic institutions, while others have maintained stable authoritarian systems or accepted communist regimes. Bertrand presents a historically grounded account of capitalist countries and state-socialist countries, delving into the historical experience of individual countries, while simultaneously providing a comparative framework with which to draw parallels and foster a better understanding of the political and economic dynamics both within and between the countries\"-- Provided by publisher.

Winning by Process
Winning by Process asks why
the peace process stalled in the decade from 2011 to 2021 despite a
liberalizing regime, a national ceasefire agreement, and a
multilateral peace dialogue between the state and ethnic
minorities.
Winning by Process argues that stalled conflicts are
more than pauses or stalemates. \"Winning by process,\" as opposed to
winning by war or agreement, represents the state's ability to gain
advantage by manipulating the rules of negotiation, bargaining
process, and sites of power and resources. In Myanmar, five such
strategies allowed the state to gain through process: locking in,
sequencing, layering, outflanking, and outgunning. The Myanmar case
shows how process can shift the balance of power in negotiations
intended to bring an end to civil war. During the last decade, the
Myanmar state and military controlled the process, neutralized
ethnic minority groups, and continued to impose their vision of a
centralized state even as they appeared to support federalism.
