▼ Myanmar is a country with many complex political and humanitarian issues. While it is rich in natural resources, it remains one of the poorest and most undemocratic countries in Asia. It has a history of ethnic and political division and many of the antagonists are still to find lasting reconciliation. Myanmar has been controlled by military juntas and former army generals since a coup in 1962. The focus of the regime is security and the preservation of its position as the ruling elite, at the expense of democracy and the humanitarian needs of the general population. The international response to the humanitarian plight of the Myanmar people has been mixed and the provision of international aid to Myanmar has become a highly contentious issue. This thesis seeks to critically examine international aid to Myanmar so as to determine whether under present conditions humanitarian assistance should, and can, be effectively provided to the country. In doing so recent theories relating to humanitarian assistance and intervention are reviewed and the historical and political circumstances that have influenced the humanitarian situation in Myanmar are explored. A description of the current humanitarian situation and levels of international assistance is provided, and donor, practitioner and activist perspectives on international assistance are determined. The results of this study show that Myanmar has serious humanitarian needs. Despite being a difficult environment in which to operate, with complex political problems, it is still possible to conduct effective programmes in the country. Existing programmes do not reach all those in need, nor do current programmes address many of the core problems. International assistance does help fill the gap left largely unattended by the junta. Any lasting political solution requires the participation of all stakeholders in the country, especially the military. As the junta is unlikely to relinquish political control, regardless of pressure levelled against the senior generals, the need for ongoing international aid remains obvious. When all the considerations about providing aid to Myanmar are taken into account, it is apparent from this research that the conditions are serious enough to justify that there is a humanitarian imperative to help, and that there are sound opportunities to do so.

▼ Through a critical use of migration theology this thesis determines pastoral outcomes for a former refugee community in Porirua, New Zealand. Resettlement after forced migration is challenging on many levels; migration theology seeks to make a practical and enduring response to these challenges. In particular migration theology has considerable potential to impact migration theory and to contribute meaningfully toward the needs of migrants and their home and host communities. The moral impetus that migration theology engenders, with its notion of the value of all human beings and its commitment to solidarity with the poor, is a powerful tool for change in churches, migrant communities and toward social justice. Migration theology is an integrated discipline: integrating thought and practice; integrating the insights of other disciplines; and integrating theological and Scriptural themes to develop a practical theology of compassionate action with a preferential option for the poor. Highlighting the important place of religion and the way in which many migrants practise their faith in their migration experience is a particular feature of migration theology. The theology of migration promotes interdependence between host and migrant communities: migration theology looks to migrants for the valuable contribution they are able to make to society in general, to the church and religious practices and to what the migration experience can teach us about the bible, helping to shape a theology of migration that strengthens the growth of true humanity for all people. This thesis is presented in three chapters. Chapter one gives a survey and critique of migration theology in general and of the migration theology of Daniel G. Groody in particular. Chapters two and three follow a process of theological enquiry put forward by Jorge E. Castillo Guerra. Chapter two examines two aspects of context: first, the subjective context of the Kachin Christian Church in Porirua; second, the general context (that is, that which relates broadly to the Kachin people of Northern Burma) is considered, giving thought to the geopolitical situation in Burma and to factors relating to the forced migration of Kachin people. Chapter three is broken into two sections: first, biblical themes and theological ideas are outlined that may contribute to the Kachin Church; and second, an examination of the pastoral outcomes that emerge through this theological enquiry. This thesis concludes that migration theology has an important role to play in migrant communities. Pastoral outcomes must not be limited to the care and nurture of these communities, but must foster a ‘double belonging’ that encourages migrants to have a leadership influence in both home and host society. These outcomes can serve migrant communities at their points of need offering pastoral solutions and fostering integrative practices that contribute to justice and the humanisation of the host society; as these outcomes submit to the biblical text they equip Christian… Advisors/Committee Members: Bradstock, Andrew (advisor).

▼ Japanese aid has generally been understood to focus on developmentalist infrastructural projects, but since the 1990s, Japanese aid actors have also emphasized "soft" aid. One example of soft aid is hitozukuri ("making persons"): human resource development activities such as training programs. Based on 20 months of fieldwork tracing a Japanese NGO's activities "making persons" across Japan and Burma/Myanmar, I examine the cultural politics of aspiring to create relational proximity among aid actors that undergirds hitozukuri aid. Specifically, I study the Organizational for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement (OISCA), one of the oldest nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Japan that derives from a Shintobased new religion called Ananaikyō. OISCA has been conducting training programs in sustainable agriculture for Asian rural youth in Japan and around the Asia-Pacific since the 1960s. These programs aim to construct intercultural and interpersonal proximity among aid workers and trainees who live together for a year "like family" in training centers. As one of the most prominent NGOs in Japan that has received significant support from politicians and government officials, I suggest that the aspirations for proximity in OISCA are emblematic of general understandings of hitozukuri aid. While recent studies of humanitarianism have shed light on the paradox between humanitarian ideals and practices, the dilemmas that emerge in the intercultural iv encounters that are at the core of international aid work have been largely overlooked. My dissertation elucidates how aspirations for proximity in cross-cultural relations produce a particular politics of ambivalence in hitozukuri aid. On the one hand, the dominant aspirations for proximity in OISCA generate positive forms of belonging and "being human." On the other hand, such aspirations also involve a violent erasure of differences, at the same time that "cultural differences" are upheld. As such, nationalculturalism and the aspiration for proximity are two sides of the same coin in hitozukuri aid. The dissertation ultimately argues that aid ideologies of humanity based on ideas of proximity should alert us to a politics of global culturalism that is both alluring and violent, producing a variety effects on different aid actors. v Advisors/Committee Members: Welker, Marina Andrea (committeeMember), Riles, Annelise (committeeMember), Hodzic, Saida (committeeMember).

▼ Myanmar martial arts, specifically the let-whay style, or Myanmar traditional boxing, are practiced by multiple ethnic groups, as well as among the Burman majority, and they offer almost an entirely unstudied field of inquiry. With a history of the Myanmar government continuing the British categorical system of ethnic groups and contributing to ethnic minority separatism how do the martial arts play a part in community development, and subsequently, identity formation? Let-whay is popular among students, military personnel, and professional fighters in the city of Yangon. The question arises whether the presence of a let-whay center plays a positive, cohesive role in Yangon local society, or what its role is. My thesis is that martial arts centers promote a community environment among its students despite the presence of differing ethnic groups. I propose that through the "power of movement", practitioners and trainees feel a sense of "community", regardless of age, nationality, ethnicity or gender. I shape my interpretations through the lens of Arnold van Gennep's theory of "liminality". In my thesis, I attempt to build a new interpretation of "liminal" experiences. Perhaps these "liminal" experiences are not disappearing in an era of increasing industrial nations and instead are alive and functioning in Myanmar in the context of the martial arts in a country caught in its own ongoing political, social, and economic transitions. First I describe a shared martial arts historical narrative as a liminal "commonality" for the participants. Secondly, I determine that let-whay practitioners from Yangon local society, a modern city, and foreigners from industrial nations embody a sense of community by experiencing shared phases of liminality. Furthermore, I suggest that despite "liminoid" characteristics, practicing the martial arts in Yangon is not necessarily by "choice," the leading factor determining what is "play" versus "work." I argue that the practitioners experience "liminal rites of passage" therefore they embody lived martial arts. I conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Yangon, Myanmar using methods that included participant observation, formal interviews, informal conversations, and questionnaires in a fiveweek period over the winter break of the academic year 2013 - 14, and also by email during three week after my return to Cornell University. I observed three separate martial arts centers in and around Yangon City, Myanmar. However, most of the data collected for this paper comes from only two of these centers - the Thut Ti Let-Whay Myanmar Boxing Club (Thut Ti) and the Ko Kyaw Soe's Let-whay gym. I conclude that a sense of community exists at the Thut Ti center despite the presence of novice, amateur, and professional fighters, of various ethnic and national groups and religion, of both genders. Since foreign fighters can embody similar liminal experiences that national fighters endure, they too participate as a member of the Myanmar boxing club. ii Advisors/Committee Members: McGowan, Kaja Maria (committeeMember).

▼ Democracy inspires many social movements around the world. Yet there is no consensus about its meaning. This thesis examines the Burmese democracy movement in the years leading up to the 2015 election victory of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy. I argue that attention to the ways democracy was given meaning amongst activists, opposition leaders and aid workers in Myanmar reveals important conceptual contests. These were struggles not between military elites and the Burmese democracy movement but within the democracy movement, and with its Western supporters – what I have described as ‘other’ struggles for democracy. The concept of narrative can unlock new perspectives on the way democracy is given meaning by political actors, and especially in the construction of meaning through conceptual contest. Drawing on fifty formal interviews and three months of observation in Myanmar (in 2013 and 2014) - within activist networks, aid agencies and the National League for Democracy - this study revealed three contrasting narratives. An institutional narrative, prominent amongst Western aid workers, emphasised the problem of personalised politics and the need for capacity building to develop formal democratic institutions. A benevolence narrative, common amongst activist leaders, highlighted the problem of dictatorial leadership and the need for unity, discipline and selfless leadership in the country’s democratization. Finally, an equality narrative, prominent in other activist networks, stressed the problem of hierarchy in Burmese culture and a vision of democracy as relational equality. As simplified stories containing diverse visions, challenges and strategies, these narratives were important means through which democracy was understood and communicated. Yet activists and aid workers also used narratives of democracy to position themselves in relation to rivals - to establish themselves, and their allies, as experts who could define what ‘genuine’ democracy was, and was not. Conceptual contests in the democracy movement were not only over contrasting visions, challenges and strategies; they were also over the construction of ‘characters’. In other words, narratives were not neutral but a way in which activists, opposition leaders and aid workers could exercise power in a discursive form. Finally, while narratives were in some ways a means for the exercise of power, these struggles were not always overt in the democracy movement, and in fact the nature of narratives and their associated practices often served to obscure conceptual contests. Myanmar has freed itself from military rule. Yet as democracy is increasingly held up as a valued political concept, it is crucial to unpack the many ways in which it is given meaning. This study extends the democratization literature by explicitly addressing the plurality of meanings of democracy. It also furthers the agenda of interpretive studies of democracy, and studies on the transmission of global norms, by highlighting the role of context specific…

▼ The present study is one of the first academic efforts to systematically study the causes of the massive human rights violations that Rohingyas have suffered in Myanmar over the past half a century. While most of the existing literature treat the “Rohingya problem” mainly as a case of forced migration or de jure statelessness, I trace it back to colonial times and the immediate post- independence period, demonstrating that it is a sedimented problem involving different players at different critical junctures.The study is informed by broad social theories of rationalism, structuralism and culturalism. It reviews the literature on political repression (the most advanced sub-field of political science on human rights violations), and finds that it has two serious gaps: its sole focus upon violations of dissidents’ physical integrity rights, and an overly narrow conception of ‘threat’, which is defined in political power terms alone. I extend the possible repertoire of human rights violations to include also other categories of rights. I then draw from theories of identity, demographic insecurity and threat perception and construction, and conclude that threats may be defined also in cultural/ethnic/religious terms.I argue that the violations of the Rohingyas’ human rights over the past half a century are rooted in rationalist political calculations and demographic insecurities of the Myanmar – and more recently also Rakhine – authorities; structural imbalances between Rakhines and Rohingyas, as well as between central Bamar-dominated governments and Rakhine State; the conflicting cultural identities of Rohingya Muslims and the Buddhist majority in Myanmar; and discriminatory and persecutory citizenship documentation policies and practices specifically targeting Rohingyas. Prior to 2012, the “causers” were mainly the central government and its agents based in Rakhine State. More recently, however, Rakhines, both leaders and local communities, as well as nationalist Buddhist monks and other anti-Rohingya or anti-Muslim Buddhists, have also come to play a prominent role, expressing vehement opposition to any form of recognition, respect, protection or fulfillment by the government of the Rohingyas’ human rights.

▼ The territorial sovereign state is the primary unit of International Relations. In this thesis, it is argued that its perceived dominance in the real world out there has also come to dominate the political as well as the academic field as the only imaginable spatial extension of political authority. The mainstream of IR can only analyse questions of how the territorial state functions in the international system, not how the state comes to dominate social life as a territorial form of political authority. The purpose of this thesis is to reimagine the state and territoriality in International Relations. To this end, inspired by political geography and sociology, alternate conceptualisations of space and the state are suggested. They can be used to form a basis for analysis of sociospatial phenomena that takes into account the social as well as the spatial, and starts with human agency, not structure. In chapter four I then build on these conceptualisation to suggest ways to analyse state power as ascending from local social relations, and the territorialisation strategies and effects that make political authority territorial. Viewed as an effect, the territorial state is but one possible form of sociospatial organisation of political authority, although it does currently have the strongest international acceptance for its source of sovereignty. Nevertheless, competing political authorities can employ supporting, parallel, or competing systems of rule with the state that can be territorial, but also, for example, network-, kinship- or mobility-based. The making of political authorities and their spatialities is demonstrated with cases from the Sino-Burmese borderlands. The cases build on fieldworks conducted by ethnographers, anthropologists, and political geographers. The focus of the analysis is on the territorialisation of political authority, especially of the Burmese state, in spaces with competing spatial claims for authority. The cases demonstrate that international borders tell little about the realities on the field; state territory and power are constantly renegotiated and redefined by actors varying from armed groups, state military, central and local government officials, drug lords, businessmen and ordinary farmers. – Aluevaltio on kansainvälisen politiikan perusyksikkö. Tämän tutkimuksen mukaan valtion dominoiva asema käytännön kansainvälisessä politiikassa on johtanut siihen, että myös akateemisessa tutkimuksessa siitä on tullut poliittisen auktoriteetin ainoa kuviteltavissa oleva tilallinen muoto. Kansainvälisen politiikan valtavirta pystyy vastaamaan vain kysymyksiin siitä, miten aluevaltiot toimivat kansainvälisissä suhteissa, mutta ei siihen, miten valtio muodostuu sosiaalisissa suhteissa niiden toimintaa määrääväksi alueelliseksi poliittisen auktoriteetin muodoksi. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvitella valtio ja alueellisuus uudelleen kansainvälisen politiikan tieteenalalla. Tätä tavoitetta varten tutkimuksessa ehdotetaan poliittisen maantieteen ja sosiologian käsitteisiin…

▼ Migration studies is an interdisciplinary study within a broader field of development studies due to its association with debates about development and underdevelopment. Irregular migration is one of the most significant topics in migration studies and its complex nature has attracted many scholars from around the world. Most literature on irregular migration has focused on its illegality and the situation of irregular migrants in the destination country and therefore, much of the previous literature on irregular migration only presents the process as a dangerous and abusive phenomenon for irregular migrants, and depicts brokers and agents as evil and exploitative. Public perception and policy discussions are dominated by myths, rather than facts, about debts and danger. These established myths often overshadow the reality about the impacts of irregular migration as experienced by actual migrants and their local communities. These confused interpretations of irregular migration highlight a need for further research. This thesis examines a case of cross-border irregular migration from Myanmar to Thailand in order to explore the impacts of irregular migration in a wider field. Its main purpose is to investigate the processes and impacts of irregular migration on families left behind in sending areas. This is achieved by employing a qualitative case study approach to gain deeper understanding of the topic in the local context, using two data collection methods: participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The study hypothesizes that irregular migration in the Myanmar context conforms less to the “evil” image, than to the patterns of conventional labour migration described by the “New Economics of Labour Migration” theory. The main research questions posed to achieve these aims were: What are the processes of irregular migration? What are its impacts on families left behind? How are these impacts different from the impacts resulting from legal migration? The study draws two main conclusions. First, human smuggling operations in this study’s context are based on the personal contacts, and therefore irregular migration is often accomplished with the help of friends, relatives or siblings of the migrants themselves and not by hostile, exploitative smugglers. Secondly, departing from the traditional notion that irregular migration is harmful, the findings from this study suggest that the social and economic impacts resulting from irregular migration are surprisingly similar to the impacts of conventional international migration in many respects.

▼ The year this dissertation was submitted there were more individuals forcibly displaced around the world than at any other point in history. Research describing the vulnerabilities, human rights violations, and challenges individuals, families, and communities encounter across the spectrum of migration is readily accessible. Less available are studies that document the strengths-focused response strategies women refugees engage to navigate systems and experiences associated with displacement. This research, developed with the purpose to answer questions residing in this gap, is a series of ethnographic case studies documenting experiences of resilience, identity construction, and mothering among Karen refugee women from Burma. I define a response strategy as a tool engaged by an individual or community to navigate forced migration and promote the resilience of interpersonal connections, and cope individually and collectively with the challenges inherent to cultural transformation. Through this conceptual model I explore the experiences of women refugees from Burma living in refugee camps on the Thai-Burma border and post-resettlement in the United States. Discourse, positional identity and hybridity frame, from a theoretical perspective, the tension inherent to the transformation of systems and structures. In particular, in this research I engage hybridity theory and the space of cultural difference to articulate the intersection of this transformation with the migration narratives of Karen women. The total study period was eleven months and characterized by two distinct phases of data collection. In the first phase I spent three weeks in two refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border conducting participant observation and informal interviews with Karen refugee women. In the refugee camps I partnered with the American Refugee Committee (ARC). The maternal-child health focus of ARC programs in the camps along the Thai-Burma border is highly regarded. In the second phase of data collection and analysis, I recruited and interviewed repeatedly a cohort of twelve Karen women post-resettlement in the United States over a seven-month period. An essential community partner in this phase of research was the Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM). The KOM was the first Karen run organization in the United States advocating and supporting the experiences of refugees from Burma in resettlement. I formally approached the analysis of each phase of data collection using Spradley’s levels of analysis, a classical method of analysis in ethnographic research. In working through the four levels of Spradley’s analysis I reconstructed, from the narratives of refugee women, processes integral in self-understanding, identity, and the negotiation of factors associated with migration. This method of analysis supported an intricate approach to the data. I was able to establish broader categories of meaning, such as response strategies that support the health of individuals, families, and communities. Spradley’s analysis was…

▼ From 2010, the historically isolated state of Myanmar began a transition to democracy, a transition which would bring the first elections in nearly two decades. The regime diluted political power between the military and new civilian institutions, allowing for significant democratisation, market liberalisation and de-censoring of communications and media in the years which followed. Simultaneously, the military implemented the most intense period of atrocities in the northwestern periphery of Rakhine State, against the Rohingya Muslim minority. To date, no research has sufficiently explained why the opening up of the state of Myanmar to the international community coincided with atrocities, the severity of which may well amount to genocide. Scholarship generally attributes Myanmar’s crimes to ‘ethnic-cleavages’, a narrative which has been debunked in scholarship on other atrocity cases; or over-zealous counter-insurgency, despite no significant Rohingya insurgent group being in existence at the time these atrocities began. Rather than atrocities being coincidental to the democratisation process, this paper argues transition in fact sparked atrocities in Myanmar’s northwestern periphery, by destabilising an internal balance of power between elite rival factions. Based upon extant research into political violence, it poses a novel explanation for the timing of Myanmar’s atrocities against Rohingya Muslims. It argues that the resignation of elites in the military junta in order to compete in the 2010 elections resulted in heightened elite rivalry between the generals which took their place. Changes to the strategic environment of Myanmar’s new military leadership led to a calculation by which atrocities in Rakhine State were perceived as useful for new Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing. Having faced insecurity upon taking office in 2011, Senior General Hlaing had insurmountable control by 2018, suggesting atrocities in the northwest periphery had proven successful from the perspective of the new leadership. A new mechanism for the regression of democratisation to mass atrocities is posed, combining research into political violence with the chronology and context of Myanmar’s transition. Advisors/Committee Members: Van der Maat, Dr. Elco (advisor).
