Seminar "Reconsidering Burmese Way to Socialism（1962-88): Re-analyzing the political and cultural meaning of the 26 year ’experiment’"

Seminar Concept
Where is Myanmar heading for? Regarding the nation-state building in Myanmar (Burma), this seminar will focus on the period of Burmese Way to Socialism, when the state philosophy was re-examined and the ’Burmese Way’ socialist state was built. What was the political and cultural context of this period in Burma’s modern and contemporary history? How was Burmese people’s desire for liberation from colonialism developed in this thought? What will emerge from the comparison with Poland in Eastern Europe? We would like to examine from various perspectives at this seminar.
