Myanmar's admission to ASEAN in 1997, despite pressure from the West to defer the decision due to Myanmar's allegedly poor human rights record, represents a key event in its economic development, political evolution and regional relations. Myanmar's conduct within, and membership of, the regional organization continues to be a topic of strong interest and debate to those who wish to understand the workings of ASEAN as a whole. Myanmar in ASEAN discusses the formation and evolution of ASEAN alongside an overview of the political and economic development of Myanmar. This volume analyses the political, security and economic impact and implications for Myanmar; key ASEAN agreements are included as a reference for students of regional integration.
