For many, the military coup in Myanmar came as a surprise. They saw in Myanmar a country on course to democracy under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. But looking at the country’s history, the past decades have been a contest between the army and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy. People expected economic transformation, peace, and social justice from the new leadership. However, discontent grew, both internally and internationally, as progress seemingly stalled. How can the recent developments in Myanmar be explained? What is the reality on the ground after years of reform and extensive support from international donors? And what is the outlook for Myanmar’s democracy, and social and economic development? Prof. Marie Lall was joined by UNU Executive Officer Dr Sabine Becker-Thierry to discuss the latest developments in the context of Myanmar’s reform process.
