For decades they were infamous as the region's most militarized and repressed societies, self-isolated and under sanctions by the international community while, from Singapore to Japan, the rest of Asia saw historic wealth creation and growing middle class security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For Burma, the threat was internal: insurgent factions clashed with the government and each other. For North Korea, it was external: a hostile superpower--the United States--and a far more successful rival state--South Korea--occupying half of the Korean peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Over time, Myanmar defeated its enemies, giving it space to explore a form of democratization and openness that has led to reintegration into international society.
