Abstract

As the civil war rages on in Burma, the ruling military junta (SLORC) is locked in a struggle with ethnic minority groups and other opposition parties which make up the Democratic Alliance of Burma. Frightening stories of human rights violations are now regularly pouring out of the country. Meanwhile, following the September 1988 military coup, Burma’s doors have been flung open to foreign companies. The one area which is attracting global capital is fisheries. Leases for offshore fishing are now offered to foreign vessels. Foreign aid and loans have increased Burma’s catching, storage and processing facilities.
