Here is a useful brief overview of issues along the Salawin River, produced by the Southeast Asia Rivers Network. Some may think that framing the issues in ethnic terms is a strategically useful move. I’m not convinced. (For a previous comment on a related publication see this post.)

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.
