Abstract

1 The in-depth nature of qualitative methodology—that seeks an understanding of “meanings, concepts, definitions, characteristics, metaphors, symbols, and descriptions” (Berg 1989, 2) was well placed to locate and explore development intermediaries and their experiences in the specific context of Myanmar. 2 I use the term “rule of law assistance” to refer to the collective activities of the transnational project that carries with it distinct concepts, technologies and practices of rule of law programmes and activities variously The Journal of Burma Studies Vol. 23, No. 1, (2019) pp. 125–141 © 2019 Center for Burma Studies Northern Illinois University
