In the book, Along the Integral Margin: Uneven Development in a Myanmar Squatter Settlement , author Stephen Campbell, Assistant Professor in the School of Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, takes readers into the lives of the labourers behind the much-lauded, yet terminally tragic, "transition", of the time leading to 2021.

Cold War conflict had many permutations, by proxy or otherwise, in Southeast Asia.

In doing so, he throws light on what was to become known as the notorious 'Golden Triangle' area of narcotics armies from the 1970s on.…
