The political "transition" in Myanmar in recent years has opened up unprecedented opportunities for access and sustained engagement with the "law" in Myanmar and its intersections with Myanmar "society". This book serves two purposes. The first is to introduce Myanmar law in context to the interested student. Second, having observed that "[l]egal scholars took their eyes off Myanmar for too long" (at p 3), this timely book aims to provide the impetus for future research on Myanmar law and society.
