More sources we will be looking at:

Society:

1. Kyaw Yin, H. (2012). Understanding Recent Political Changes in Myanmar. Contemporary Southeast Asia: A Journal Of International & Strategic Affairs34(2), 197-216. doi:10.1355/cs34-2c.

This article talks about the new social situation that Myanmar is living since the new government took power in 2011.
It also talks about the challenges that the country is suffering in economical terms and the discussion between the hardliners in the government think that the pace of reform is too fast while hardliners in the pro-democracy movement  feel that they are too slow.

We have chosen this article because it is clear and concrete, and it shows a good view of what it is happening right now in the country.

2.Jolliffe, K. (2011). Dilemmas of Burma in transition. Forced Migration Review, (37), 15-16. 
The article examines the state of domestic affairs within the nation of Burma. it talks about the non-state armed groups
 ( NSAGs), and the discussions about the influence that this groups have upon socioeconomic factors and civil society.

We have chosen this article because we want to be informed also about non-state armed groups and their actuation in relation whit the country.

Politics:

1. Coclanis, P. A. (2013). Terror in Burma. World Affairs176(4), 25-34. 
The article discusses terrorism and conflict between Buddhists and Muslims in Burma as of late 2013. It also examines the concept and historical dimensions of Buddhist terrorism, particularly as related to the presence of Muslims and South Asians in Burma during the 19th century and the 20th century. It discusses the Muslim community in Burma in the early 21st century.

We are interested in this article because it argues the different religion situations that the country has been suffering during the past years.

2. Smith, M. (2010). ETHNIC POLITICS IN MYANMAR. Southeast Asian Affairs, 214-234.
The article discusses ethnic relations in Burma and political activity by its ethnic minorities. A history is presented of relations, including guerrilla warfare, between Burma's military government and ethnic minorities. 

We are also concerned about minorities in the country and their situation.
