This book offers the assessment of Myanmar¿s societal changes, development aspects, and political situation over the course of the nation¿s short lived democratic transition disrupted by the coup d¿état on 1 February 2021. A multitude of authors with different expertise add new dimensions of analysis to provide a foundation for any future international cooperation in Myanmar¿s center and peripheries. The military¿s institutionalization of its influence and control in political, economic and social affairs has negatively affected the safety, security and peace of people and their communities at the periphery. This in turn has led the people to undertake local grassroots initiatives towards securing a genuine democratic transition at the local and national level. The chapters probe into Myanmar¿s transition and political crisis through in-depth discussion on the issues such as, but not limited to, state fragility, community resilience, political leadership, ethnic women¿s organizations, human security, education equality, IDPs and non-state actors, ethnic community-based health organizations, the 2020 election, peace process, development issues, the coup¿s destruction, and a new-born unity. The book covers an important collection of inputs from young and prominent scholars alike, offering a valuable resource for general readers, students, and practitioners. The editors present this volume as a vital collection to literature at a time of heated political crisis and societal responses on her current course since the contributors highlight the state of Myanmar by also focusing on the margins, the grassroots, and the recent coup.

West Papua is the most violent area of Indonesia. Indonesian security forces battle the country's last active separatist insurgency there. The majority of Indonesia's political prisoners are Papuans, and support for independence is widespread. But military repression and indigenous resistance are only one part of a complex topography of insecurity in Papua: vigilantism, clan conflict, and other forms of horizontal violence produce more casualties than the vertical conflict that is often the exclusive focus of international accounts of contemporary Papua. Similarly, Papua's coerced incorporation into Indonesia in 1969 is not unique; it mirrors a pattern of long-term annexation found in other remote and highland areas of South and Southeast Asia. What distinguishes Papua is the near-total absence of the state in indigenous areas. This is the consequence of a morass of policy dysfunction over time that compounds the insecurity that ordinary Papuans face. The author illuminates the diverse and local sources of insecurity that indicate too little state as opposed to too much, challenges common perceptions of insecurity in Papua, and offers a prescription of policy initiatives. These include the reform of a violent and unaccountable security sector as a part of a broader reconciliation process and the urgent need for a comprehensive indigenous-centered development policy.

Offensive Football at its Best-the Single Wing! In an easy-to-understand manual, Coach Bobby Anderson lays out strategies for winning football using the single-wing offense with an end over. The single wing is making a come back! When my sons played football at Providence Christian School of Texas I was surprised to see they ran the single wing. I had learned the single wing at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey from where I graduated in 1972. The single wing is a very effective formation, and Coach Bobby Anderson is an outstanding practitioner of it as well as a great coach and mentor. The Providence football team went undefeated three of the five years he was there and lost only one game during another season. In 1970 I tried to convince Tom Landry to have the Cowboys run the single wing with Roger Staubach at tailback, Calvin Hill or Duane Thomas at fullback, and Walt Garrison at blocking back. He was concerned that it would confuse the offense more than the defense. I guess they did not need it since they played in the next two Super Bowls! However, I did notice that Coach Landry re-introduced its cousin, the shotgun, shortly thereafter. -Robert F. Murchison, fan of the single wing and son of the Dallas Cowboys' founder Coach Anderson knew he wanted to be a football coach early in life. His head-coaching record of 152 wins, 47 losses, and five ties stands tall. He ran the single wing for twenty years as a head coach. He wants to win, and he has with the single wing! Learn from his expertise and give YOUR team winning seasons with the single wing!
