Pathways ahead for Myanmar: Assessing the Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Monalisa Adhikari and Jennifer Hodge
This policy brief summarises key findings drawn from praxis-based research in the form of a Study Group on Myanmar, led by PeaceRep. Between 2021-2024, PeaceRep convened 12 Study Group sessions, including two in-person sessions in Thailand in 2024, under Chatham House Rule. The sessions involved a range of stakeholders, including civil society, ethnic resistance movements, PDFs, scholars and practitioners in a neutral space for discussion, and were organised with the objective of engendering a shared perspective on political developments in the country. The sessions offered participants an opportunity to discuss emerging themes in the political space in Myanmar, including emerging forms of governance, ASEAN’s role, ideas of human rights during the revolution, and prospects for a broad-based dialogue within the opposition, amongst others.
