Outsourcing the polity : non-state welfare, inequality, and resistance in Myanmar

Gerard McCarthy

"Drawing on extensive political ethnography during Myanmar's decade of partial civilian rule (2011-2021), this book offers a new account of austerity and capitalism in Myanmar since independence in 1948 and examines how ideals and practices of non-state welfare can both sustain democratic resistance and undermine social reform over time."
