Zusammenfassung: | Assesses the potential for the planned 2010 elections in Burma to bring genuine political change to that country, the poorest & most oppressed in southeast Asia. Skeptics' claims that the elections will only serve to legitimate the existing military regime are evaluated in light of evidence that that regime refused to honor previous election results 18 years ago & has imprisoned the winning party's political leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The author's views on the potential for real reform are offered from the perspective of a political exile. Adapted from the source document. |
