• W3121565145 abstract "I. INTRODUCTIONThis article aims to contribute to the discussion of Myanmar/Burma's1 legal system by mapping the scholarship in this area. The article identifies the fields of that have been the focus of inquiry, the key themes that have driven research on in Myanmar in the past, and how this foundation of scholarly inquiry can be built upon for future research. It demonstrates the range of secondary literature that is available, although one needs to keep in mind Professor Huxley's lament that is one of the least studied of Asian legal systems.2 Although his statement was made in the context of a discussion on Burmese Buddhist law, it also applies to the study of the legal system in Myanmar more broadly. In particular, the article highlights the relevance of the rich body of social science literature on Myanmar and the way in which it can enhance our understanding of the in Myanmar more generally.3 It also leads us to acknowledge the depth of social science research in this area as well as the need for scholars to rediscover law in the study of Myanmar.There is not often an opportunity or need to review the entire legal academic literature for a given country in all areas of legal scholarship, including public and private law. It is perhaps even more unusual to offer an agenda for the research of a particular country, especially in an era when legal scholarship is increasingly focused on the globalization of and legal institutions4 and the field of transnational or global law. Further, to conduct a review of the legal scholarship on an entire country may seem overly ambitious. Yet while acknowledging this fact, this article nonetheless offers a review of scholarship on the legal system of Myanmar.Within Asian Legal Studies,5 some scholars have reviewed a particular field of or line of scholarly legal inquiry. There are recent examples of scholars who have surveyed the broader field of socio-legal studies in East6 or Southeast Asia.7 Such reviews highlight the importance of reflecting on the history and development of and society studies of Asian legal systems, the themes that unite this particular area of scholarship, and its future potential and possible contribution to the literature.Like any review of an academic field, this one also comes with a keen awareness of its limitations. This article only aims to review scholarly work (rather than primarily legal resources) published after independence in 1948. The primary legal resources available-including legislation, court decisions, digests, brief legal commentaries, key texts written by Burmese authors, and so forth-have been set out in a research guide by myself and Dr. Nick Cheesman.8 This article is designed to build on that research guide by focusing on academic scholarship. It does not deal with reports by advocacy organizations; although some such reports are empirically-based, generally they are not grounded in broader scholarly debates.9This article is organized thematically because the existing literature falls within several key areas of inquiry. This approach allows the reader to go directly to his or her particular area of research interest. The four broad themes are: 1) custom, religion, and the law; 2) public and governance; 3) corporate law; and 4) legal culture and the politics of law. Scholarship in each of these areas is considered in turn, noting its preoccupations and highlighting the scope of scholarship to date.10 In doing so, the article profiles some of the key scholars who have shaped the field and their oeuvres of publications as a way of acknowledging the legacy of those who have recognized the importance of this field.II. THE CHALLENGES OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN MYANMAR/BURMAIt is necessary to briefly explain the comparative lack of legal scholarship on Myanmar and the particular challenges that this has presented for academics, legal practitioners, and local and foreign researchers. …" @default.
