DESCRIPTION:Burma's long-running ethnic conflicts are less well-known than
  the (predominantly urban-based) struggle for democracy. Ashley South prov
 ides a comprehensive background of ethnic politics in Burma\, and argues t
 hat\, in order to understand its complexity\, it is necessary to look beyo
 nd the 'usual suspects' of Western-oriented rebel groups and refugees\, ba
 sed along the Thailand border.\n\n_Ashley South is an independent writer a
 nd consultant who specializes in ethnic politics and humanitarian challeng
 es in Southeast Asia\, particulary Burma\, Thailand\, Laos and the Philipp
 ines. Ashley has worked with the Thailand-Burma Border Consortium\, the Hu
 man Rights Watch\, the UNDP and the UN World Food Programme. He has also p
 ublished extensively on Burma and wider problems of diversity in Southeast
  Asia\, with some of the best publishers\, including Routledge and Oxford 
 University Press._\n\nFor further information on Ashley and his publicatio
