Myanmar has witnessed rapid economic growth in the 21st century. The cultural heritage of Myanmar (Burma) inherited from ancestors is law literature such as Dhammathat and Rajathat. Burma is a unique country in Southeast Asia in a sense that it already had a modern law system. For example, there has been a legal profession even in 12th century AD. According to Rajathat, lawyers were required to wear a uniform in court. Furthermore, lawyers and Judges participated in legal proceedings from the 15th century. As to the role of Dhammathat, there are conflicting views in the academic community. According to Professor Andrew Huxley, the profound literatures of Dhammathat had played an important role as a source of law in Burmese court in ancient times. Dhammathats have flourished in the struggle among the King, lawyers, and monks in old Burmese society. This customary law combined with Rajathat provided a guidance of legal proceedings in Burmese court, as well as village settlement. This traditional dispute resolution system reaches modern times in the form of Buddhist family law in Myanmar. Nowadays, the law system of Myanmar looks like a legal pluralism since the customary laws of Burma, as well as Shan and Arakan, are effective and co-exist with common law adopted at the colonial period. In recent times, Myanmar has enacted new arbitration laws (2016) in order to attract foreign direct investment.

A hybrid system combining renewable technologies with diesel generators is a promising solution for rural electrification. Myanmar has many renewable energy resources, and many regions that cannot be supplied with electricity from the main grid. Therefore, in this study, we select a village in Myanmar, which is located far away from the substation, and evaluate the economic feasibility of a hybrid system for the village considering the specific local conditions and resource availability. We consider a hybrid system composed of a photovoltaic source, diesel generator, battery energy storage system, and converter. The load profiles of the household data from the village, and the solar radiation profiles are determined. The advantages of the hybrid system, in terms of cost, reliability, and environmental effects are analyzed through simulations using commercial software. The simulation results show that, for the selected village in Myanmar, a hybrid system with battery energy storage can reduce the cost and greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining reliability. We also obtain an optimized design in terms of the component size for the selected hybrid system with battery energy storage.

In the transition to a multipolar international system, the literature has focused on great power competition while little attention has been given to the strategic possibilities of smaller states. However, as a result of globalization, states are so closely interconnected that the primary strategies of even major powers are not to achieve zero-sum solutions but to create asymmetric dependency through which they can influence the behavior of other states and non-state actors. States are assisted in this effort by a variety of tools, including setting up institutions, direct economic influence and through building different forms of infrastructure connectivity networks. By discussing asymmetric dependency situations from the perspective of the great powers, the literature presents smaller states primarily as passive actors, paralyzed by their dependence on great powers. Our paper argues that interdependence allows smaller states to effectively influence larger actors and examines strategies from which smaller states can choose in order to influence the behavior of larger states. Despite an extremely asymmetric relationship between Myanmar and China, actors in Myanmar have sought to influence China's Myanmar policy. We examine a case study of the Myitsone Dam, including Myanmar's strategic aims, chosen strategy and limitations in maneuvering space. Semi-structured interviews with local decision-makers and stakeholders are conducted in order to portray the full picture. Our study concludes that further research on the influencing strategies of small states in response to asymmetric dependence can contribute to a better understanding of the interdependence of states.

본 논문은 미얀마의 개혁과 개방이후의 무역패턴을 분석하고 동아시아의 한국과 중국 및 일본과의 무역패턴을 분석하였다. 미얀마의 비교우위구조와 국제분업구조를 RCA지수와 TSI지수를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석기간은 개방 직후인 2012부터 자료 확보가 가능한 최근 2014으로 하였으며, 무역자료는 UN comtrade를 사용하였다. 분석결과 미얀마는 개방이후에 무역의 급격한 성장을 이루고 있을 뿐만 아니라 분업의 구조도 변화되고 있었다. 개방으로 2차산품의 무역비중이 증가하였을 뿐만 아니라 비교우위도 1차산품에서 2차 노동집약산업으로 이동하고 있었다. 한국과 중국 및 일본과의 무역에 있어서도 주로 1차산품과 노동집약재 중심으로 수출이 이루어졌다. 동아시아 3국간의 무역의 구조를 비교하면, 한국은 아직 미얀마와 초기단계의 무역구조를 보이고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 즉 중국과 일본은 미얀마와 무역 관계가 안정적인데 반해, 한국과 미얀마의 무역은 비교우위 패턴이 안정적이지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

이 글의 목적은 21세기에 들어 불량국가 중 가장 모범적인 변화를 추동한 미얀마의 경험이 과연 북한에 적용 가능한가를 검토하는 것이다. 최근 들어 북한의 대화와 개혁개방 의지는 미얀마 군부가 스스로 군사평의회를 해체하고 총선을 통해 새로운 정치체제로 나아간 전례와 유사하다. 소위 '미얀마 모델'은 국제사회의 제재와 압력으로 인해 불량국가로 낙인 찍한 국가가 위로부터의 변화(transformation)를 선택함으로써 정치체제를 연성화하고 시장을 개방하는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 정치 엘리트가 주도적으로 국가의 전환을 계획하고 시행하기 때문에 개방이후 사회 전분야에 걸친 빠른 속도의 변화는 불가능하다. 미얀마의 경우 장기간에 걸친 군부 독재와 이로 인해 군사문화의 사회 침투 수준이 높고, 민주진영이라는 민간정부에서조차도 권위주의적 의사결정에 길들여져 있다. 나아가 군부의 기득권을 회수하지 못하는 기형적인 정치구조로 구체제를 위한 "예약된 영역"이 존재하므로 정치구조의 변화에 맞는 질적인 측면의 정치발전이 이뤄지지 않는다. 북한 또한 장기간의 독재체제로 인해 시민사회가 성숙하지 못했고, 경제발전 수준 또한 매우 낮기 때문에 단시일에 정치경제적 성과를 거두기는 쉽지 않아 보인다. 미얀마처럼 북한 또한 1인 지배체제로서 최고권력자가 개혁과 개방을 선택했기 때문에 향후 개혁과 개방의 속도와 방향도 미얀마 군부처럼 조절할 가능성이 크다. 따라서 북한이 개혁과 개방을 선택하는 '미얀마 모델'로 나아간다면 단기적으로는 새로운 변화의 기대감이 크겠지만, 중장기적으로는 지체 또는 정체될 수 있을 것이다.

The medical-device market of Myanmar in the recent Asian region is where the influences of Thailand, China, India and Singapore are being shown considerably with the lift-up of economic sanctions by America and the West. However, although the global capital and liberalization have widened the openness and the international concerns, the relative Myanmar's medical environment demands an active assistance and improvement. The study, recognizing the importance of Medical-Devices and their market conditions emerging as key business for knowledge-based industry, aims to obtain consequential meaningful suggestions, pursuant to relative export-concentration and sustainable market growth of Medical Devices, by analyzing inter-nation trade intensity for key Medical Device items. To do so, this study selected 8 nations in total by reviewing three points: core Medicine-advanced countries, geographically adjacent countries to Myanmar, and relative export-concentration.

The heterogeneity and complexity of malaria involves political and natural environments, socioeconomic development, cross-border movement, and vector biology; factors that cannot be changed in a short time. This study aimed to assess the impact of economic growth and cross-border movement, toward elimination of malaria in Yunnan Province during its pre-elimination phase. Malaria data during 2011-2016 were extracted from 18 counties of Yunnan and from 7 villages, 11 displaced person camps of the Kachin Special Region II of Myanmar. Data of per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) were obtained from Yunnan Bureau of Statistics. Data were analyzed and mapped to determine spatiotemporal heterogeneity at county and village levels. There were a total 2,117 malaria cases with 85.2% imported cases; most imported cases came from Myanmar (78.5%). Along the demarcation line, malaria incidence rates in villages/camps in Myanmar were significantly higher than those of the neighboring villages in China. The spatial and temporal trends suggested that increasing per-capita GDP may have an indirect effect on the reduction of malaria cases when observed at macro level; however, malaria persists owing to complex, multi-faceted factors including poverty at individual level and cross-border movement of the workforce. In moving toward malaria elimination, despite economic growth, cooperative efforts with neighboring countries are critical to interrupt local transmission and prevent reintroduction of malaria via imported cases. Cross-border workers should be educated in preventive measures through effective behavior change communication, and investment is needed in active surveillance systems and novel diagnostic and treatment services during the elimination phase.

Corruption is a serious political factor that distorts economic structure and slows economic development. In particular, the transition to the market opening economy increases the corruption incentives due to the transitional situation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors on corruption using 2013 Myanmar Enterprise Survey data provided by World Bank. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the manager's willingness to dealing the regulation and the necessity of licensing had a positive relationship with corruption at the level of 90% and 95%, respectively. In the competitive environment factor, the intensity of the competition showed a significant increase at the level of 90%. In the institutional environment, the perception of social corruption and the obstacle of the taxation authorities increased the corruption. On the other hand, the increase in the instability of the political environment and strict enforcement of laws has been shown to reduce corruption. However, there was no significant relationship between managerial capacity, corruption of competitors, tax rate, and administrative environment.
