Abstract

International businesses trading with, and operating in, Myanmar have attracted frequent criticism. As a result, political considerations related to external institutional actors, sanctions measures, and non-government organisations (NGOs), are, typically, considered to have determined the scope and the strategic development of international investment and trade with Myanmar. Due to its poor human rights record, international state actors have differed with regard to the deci-sion to engage, or not to engage, with the repressive regime govern-ment of Myanmar. The US and the European Union (EU), have, to a large extent, adopted a policy of ‘isolation’, while Asian governments and business groups have adopted an alternate policy of ‘constructive’ institutional and economic engagement with Myanmar.
