SUMMARY:“Development” Appropriation in Myanmar: Partnership, Contestation
LOCATION:Room 1.505
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of development assistance to Myanmar accelerated 
 after political transition in 2011. Within the confines of foreign funded p
 rograms and projects actors have sought to aid the country’s lack of land r
 ights, peace, rule of law, environmental conservation, women’s rights, and 
 so on.\n\nThis panel critically explores how internationally funded develop
 ment and conservation projects and initiatives that carry a specific model 
 are appropriated by local actors in Myanmar, sometimes to shore up the legi
 timacy and authority of certain groups on the local scale, other times “rep
 utationally laundered” from signs of foreign involvement due to nationalist
  sentiments and endemic xenophobia.\n\nThe development models the panel see
 ks to address could include, but are not limited to:\n\n- Peace\n- Land\n- 
 Law\n- Environment\n- Gender\n- Conservation\n\nThe panel approaches the id
 ea of development in Myanmar from an interdisciplinary and critical politic
 al-anthropological perspective that question the donors and the constructio
 n of ‘global’ models and then examine the end users of such models. Raising
  these questions in a fragile political environment can reveal uncanny link
 s of state-/military partnerships with NGOs, development agencies, activist
  groups and venture capitalists and reiterative cycles of contestation and 
 opportunity.
