New Mandala readers who can’t get enough news and views on Burma may be keen to bookmark Burma Digest. It carries regularly updated comment and opinion, and often links to useful Burmese language material. Its political agenda is helpfully explained in the page on “Missions and Visions“. Burma Digest covers events both inside and outside Burma and is currently running interesting pieces on the “White Shirt Revolution“. For anybody interested in Burma - and particularly its current period of political tension - the site is well worth a regular look.

The Society for Heterodox Economics is having a session about “Burma’s economic Dystopia” at their next annual conference and have called for papers. They’re an interesting bunch.

The man behind Burma Digest also runs a great UK yahoo group on Burma, a great source for up to date information.

Thanks James and Richard,
These are both, no doubt, of interest to a number of New Mandala readers. If any other readers have Southeast Asia sites/conferences/etc they would like New Mandala to have a look at/draw attention to/briefly review then we will certainly consider it.
We are always happy to devote posts to events, publications and websites of interest to the wider Southeast Asian studies community.
Best wishes to all.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
