Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that since 1988, the people of Myanmar have suffered under the leadership of a repressive military junta. The writer notes that current conditions in Myanmar not only force residents to live in fear, but also have brought about economic sanctions and reductions in foreign investment that have hurt the population's standard of living. Further the writer maintains that the situation in Myanmar has received global attention, but that bringing political and human rights reforms to this rogue nation has proven difficult. The writer concludes that a stable, democratic Myanmar will be a better economic partner for China, Russia and Myanmar's neighbors. One can expect that these nations, individually and through global and regional organizations, will eventually press for stability and reform in Myanmar.
Outline:
Major Nations Undermine UN Efforts
Despite Strength, ASEAN Takes Weak Approach
Sanctions Can Work in Myanmar
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Regrettably, as long as China and Russia sit on the UN Security Council and as long as they have economic interests in Myanmar, it will be difficult for the UN to be a driving factor for change in Myanmar. The real hope is that China and Russia may one day realize that their current positions are somewhat short-sighted. After all, a more politically and economically stable Myanmar may prove to be a better economic partner. This is a logical philosophical leap that China and Russia may one day make, but, for now, it does not appear to be in the cards."

Abstract
This paper argues that ASEAN's (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) constructive engagement has failed to meet its goals of the development of Myanmar's human rights conditions, the minimization of Chinese influence in Myanmar and the enhancement of regional cooperation among Southeast Asian nations. It also investigates the impact of constructive engagement on ASEAN's standing in international politics.
From the Paper
"Beyond the superficial endorsement of human rights, rationale behind constructive engagement was more complex and pragmatic. As argued by Carey, a policy that from the outset was meant to benefit ASEAN's members first and foremost. The main motives for constructive engagement can be divided into political factors and economic factors. The major political factor in the implementation of constructive engagement was ASEAN's desire to counteract the influence of the People's Republic of China in Myanmar and to deter Myanmar from becoming China's ally. Initially, ASEAN was established as a barrier against communism in Southeast Asia. After Vietnam attained ASEAN's membership in 1995, ASEAN's policy gradually shifted to preventing Chinese hegemony in Southeast Asia."

"Burma
Area, Geography, and Climate
Burma, known as The Union of Myanmar lies in the northwest region of southeast Asia, between the Tibetan plateau and the Malay peninsula. The country is bordered by Bangladesh and India to the northwest, by the People's Republic of China and Laos to the northeast, and by Thailand to the southeast (Myanmar, 1993, p. 2012). The climate is tropical, with an average temperature of 80 degrees fahrenheit. There is great mineral wealth, an abundance of forests and fish, and fertile agriculture conditions (Burma, 1993, p. 20). Since the United States has not officially recognized the change of names from Burma to Myanmar, the name Burma will be used in this research.

Abstract
This essay attempts to show how much ASEAN?s norms have undermined its ability to face the challenges posed by Myanmar membership in the Association and hence also reduce its ability to realize the stated objectives and expectations of the membership. This is even more interesting since there is a possibility that ASEAN, with its rhetoric of embracing Myanmar in order to ?democratise? it, has actually perpetuated the repressive military junta. After all, the promotion of human rights and democracy has not been one of the Association?s priority. To achieve this, political, economic and security expectations and real outcome are analyzed and compared.
Introduction
ASEAN?s Expectation in Engaging Myanmar
Reality after Membership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Since 1998, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has finally become truly regional by including all ten states of the region in its membership. In 1992 it accepted Viet Nam’s application, and in 1997 Laos and Myanmar joined in. Cambodia had to wait another year for membership but was finally admitted. This has been one of the vision set by its founders since its establishment in 1967 although at that time the Association was more a subregional alliance to contain the internal and external threat of communism for like-minded, anti-imperialist, anti-communist regimes, and to some extent to balance Viet Nam’s power in the region."

This paper explores the varying corruption levels in four countries on the Asian continent.

Abstract
The paper discusses the yearly Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of Transparency International that is a good benchmark of the corruption levels in countries around the world. The paper focuses on Asia's two least corrupt/high integrity countries, Singapore and Japan, and Asia's two most corrupt/low integrity countries, the Philippines and Myanmar. The paper explores the disparities in their CPI and explains that if there truly is political will, like in Japan and Singapore, corruption can be curbed. The paper then contrasts this to the Philippines and Myanmar where those in power aim just to propagate their power legacy and enrich their pockets at the expense of those they are supposed to govern.
From the Paper
"Globalization is not a truly new phenomenon in this day and age but rather has been with us since time immemorial. In fact, globalization is part and parcel of mankind's history since traders and merchants roam the land or sail the Seven Seas in search of unique goods or to trade/barter with others in far off lands. The difference with globalization then and now is the time and speed factors. Whereas before it could take months or years to travel and perform commercial activities with other nations; nowadays, it could be done in a matter of days, hours, minutes or even seconds. Thus, globalization changes the playing filed and the rules but throughout history, one constant has remained the same - corruption!"

From the Paper
"Afemann begins with Internet hosts statistics from Network Wizards. There were almost 20 million hosts on the Internet in July 1997. The US gets about sixty per cent of all Internet hosts while the Third World is participating with a mere three per cent. The paper goes on to say that about 82.5 per cent of worldwide Internet hosts are in the G7-countries, which make up only about ten per cent of world population. However, the most populated countries of the Third World, namely China, India, Brazil and Nigeria all together make up only 0.6% of all hosts although they possess about a third of world population. In Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, there were only four Internet hosts in January 1997."
