Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar is going through an unprecedented politico-economical and socio-cultural transformation, especially after the November 2010 general elections. The new military-backed, quasi-civilian government under the leadership of President Thein Sein of Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) advocated a reformist agenda namely, reached out to the Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi (ASSK), established the National Human Rights Commission, implemented a new labour law in consultation with the International Labour Organisation, relaxed restrictions on the media, allowed some economic liberalisation and released hundreds of political prisoners.
