Abstract
This study is concerned with examining the interrelated themes of power, resistance and exile in a Burmese context. It outlines concepts and exercise of power in Burma as well as the background of present-day leftist articulations within the anti-military movement. This study tentatively explores the context in which leftist dissidents are displaced in Thailand, and involve an investigating of the ways in which they navigate legal and political systems to advocate for their rights and demands. The study also examines the relationship between members of leftist organisations and the wider democracy movement as well as the particular challenges and risks that they face.
