The best book I have read on any aspect of local governance in #Myanmar.
Deep ethnography by local and int researchers on how actually justice works, mostly outside of the official courts where local leaders, EAOs and others fil void.

It is a must read for understanding how governance is patchworked & why village/ward level is so important.
Written pre-coup but is deeply relevant post-coup as the governance and security environment becomes more fragmented and "mixed" in many areas.

Also covers customary and ethnic justice practices, in Karen Mon, Naga and Pa-O communities, who - in different ways - handle justice affairs locally without the official state system.
Much needed to go beyond the imaginary and simplistic EAO-controlled / gov-controlled binary.
