The large porous and underdeveloped border could also be turned into a border of peace and progress. The pro-democracy movement and Myanmar’s integration with Western economies, would give a much needed push towards studying Western concepts and learning English. As such, India needs to open, near the Indo-Myanmar border, a large number of schools, colleges and a university specialising in teaching English and democratic concepts and shared cultures. Students with special passes should be able to just walk over and attend classes in India. The area is especially suited for Myanmar’s citizens near and around the capital Naypyidaw in Northern Myanmar, where the need is greatest. This matter needs to be pursued with the present government on priority. This would enhance India’s soft power status as also protect her interests.

Summary/Abstract |
The illegal narcotics demand in the US is discussed in relation to the products supplied by the Mexican cartels. This is then contrasted with major legal commodities with addictive properties consumed in the US. Overlaps of use are also noted. Traditional, right of center, and left of center counter-demand approaches to narcotics trafficking are also surveyed. All of these approaches represent no-win scenarios for the US with its 'troubled population' of addicted users. Final analysis suggests that a blended counter-demand strategy should be explored based on extinguishing demand, coercing the users, and, to some extent, fulfilling user demand by the provision of prescription narcotics to 'special status' addicts and by means of limited decriminalization of personal marijuana use. Such a suggested strategy would have its own negative elements and should be considered less of a bad choice than the other, even worse, US counter-demand policy options that exist.
