Bringing together their own intimate knowledge of the countryճ problems and the possibilities that lie ahead, the scholars Рmost of whom are widely travelled and have achieved professional eminence as development specialists in leading universities of the world Рattempt to analyse the main factors which have stood in the way of Burmaճ participation in the worldwide surge of economic growth in the second half of the twentieth century, and to devise ways in which the country can overcome these obstacles in the future.
