Аннотация:Myanmar Mania and the Lessons for Russia
Over the recent years, Myanmar made several steps on a winding path of economic and political transformations. The government made a bid on opening of the national economy in order to attract foreign investors, and this strategy resulted in impressive investment boom. However, the experience of several years of Myanmar mania also reveals pitfalls and peculiarities of massive investments in this new national market. The current experience of major powers’ cooperation with Myanmar offers valuable lessons for Russia. Moscow and Naypyidaw share a significant historical background of economic and trade cooperation, and have perspective tracks and formats of its further development – but only if the mutual risks are well understood and mitigated.
