The Online Burma/Myanmar Library (OBL) is a non-profit online research library mainly in English and Burmese serving academics, activists, diplomats, NGOs, CSOs, CBOs and other Burmese and international actors. It is also, of course, open to the general public. Though we provide lists of Burma/Myanmar news sources, the Library’s main content is not news but in-depth articles, reports, laws, videos and links to other websites, We provide a search engine (database and full text) and an alphabetical list of categories and sub-categories, but the Library is best accessed through browsing the 100 or so categories which lead to sub- and sub-sub categories. These tools should be used in combination.

Alternatives to Land Grabbing: Smallholder Engagement in Commodity Booms in Southeast Asia
Abstract: "Given the widespread smallholder impulse to engage
in commodity booms in Southeast Asia and the
potential for this engagement to offer a more
inclusive development pathway than large-scale
plantation production, we examine three issues: Wh
at are the agro-economic factors favouring or
obstructing smallholder modes of commodity production relative to large-scale production entities?
What are the incentives for agribusiness firms to contribute to smallholder commodity production

Executive Summary:
