TRANSITION

Since a number of leaders of the Burmese Junta became members of a quasi-civil government in 2011, the dedication to the democratic transition of president Thein Sein, former Prime Minister and general, has been confirmed by significant improvements.

Such as the suspension of censorship in the media, the restoration of a multi-party system, the liberation of political prisoners, but also a reform of both legal and economical frameworks.
Due to its complexity and to the fact that it may endanger both the economy and security of the country, the handling of the ethnic and religious diversity will be a determinant factor for the future of Myanmar and for the long-term impact of its current transition.

  • • Renaud Egreteau and Francois Robinne (editors), Metamorphosis: Studies in Social and Political Change in Myanmar, NUS Press, Singapore, 2015, 448 p.

    With a young population of more than 52 million, an ambitious roadmap for political reform, and on the cusp of rapid economic development, since 2010 the world’s attention has been drawn to Myanmar or Burma. But underlying recent political transitions are other wrenching social changes and shocks, a set of transformations less clearly mapped out. Relations between ethnic and religious groups, in the context of Burma’s political model of a state composed of ethnic groups, are a particularly important “unsolved equation”.

  • • David I. Steinberg(editor), Myanmar: The Dynamics of an Evolving Polity, Lynne Rienner Publishers, Boulder, 2014, 374 p.

    What issues will Myanmar need to address as it moves further the immediate complexities of a transition from an authoritarian state to a more pluralistic polity? How will the new government navigate the challenges—some new, some old—of increasing public participation, persistent coercive forces, economic transformation, ethnic tensions, varying conceptions of the role of law, and more?

  • • Carine Jaquet,The Kachin Conflict, Testing the Limits of the Political Transition in Myanmar, IRASEC, Bangkok, 2015, 102 p.

    While much has been written in the media about the legal, economic, and political reforms in Myanmar; academic research about the Kachin Conflict, as well as firsthand information remains scarce. Analyzing the causes of the conflict and current impediments to peace in Kachin territories provides an illustration of the limits of the transition process.

  • •United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

    Since 2011, conflict and inter-communal violence in Myanmar has displaced more than 240,000 people.
