Silkworm Books.
2005.
Maps, xvi + 231pp, appendix, paperback. In response to international pressure to implement a strict drug eradication program, Burma has announced harsh measures for all illicit poppy production. But the enforcement of the ban on opium operations will directly threaten the livelihoods of some 250,000 families in the Shan state who depend on the opium economy. What alternatives do these families have for their survival? This is among the various issues explored in this volume. The Collection consists of ten papers presented at the December 2003 international conference held in Amsterdam to discuss issues on international engagement with Burma through the prism of drug policy. The articles analyze the relationship between drugs and conflict in Burma and take a close look at the consequences of the Burma drug problem for its neighboring countries. The latter part of the book widens its focus to place Burma’s drug policies in the international context of the global drug trade. The articles together identify the problems in drug control efforts in Burma and present recommendations for an effective response from the international community.
