| Research Abstract |
The aim of this joint research project was to look into the historical background as well as the present situations of the oversea Burmese communities in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Australia for comparison. The project also dealt with the early emigrants from Burma to oversea (such as UK, Australia and New Zealand) during the last stage of British colonial period and the first few years after independence (most of them were Anglo-Burmese). It has become clear that the difference among the policies towards the immigrants in those four countries deeply related with the problems which each Burmese community had to face. In Japan, it has also become apparent that a sense of solidarity came into existence between the ethnic Burmese majority (Bamar) and the other minorities such as Kachins and Karens in the late 2000s.
