“…Militias under the control of the military (Tatmadaw) are in no way behind the UWSA or the Mongla group in drug production and trafficking. A study in Taunggyi found that local authorities play a role in drug proliferation in Myanmar (Meehan et al, 2022).…”

“…We understand precarity as being produced at the intersection of localized vulnerability with broader structural shifts, including global developments (Rigg 2006, Han 2108, Whittle et al 2020.

Significantly, ideas of generous constraint envisage constraint not simply as a force of oppression, but as emergent agency; a relative freedom that is induced by the bounded situation, a "forced movement" which can produce a "positive" effect (Gomart, 2002;Zourabichvili, 1994).…”
