In June 2011 fighting resumed between the Kachin Independence
Organisation and Myanmar Army, ending a 17-year ceasefire. The
unwillingness of local Kachin people and their leaders to agree to
a speedy renewal of the ceasefire has frustrated many observers and
policy-makers hoping for a national ceasefire agreement between the
Myanmar government and principal armed ethnic organizations. Yet
since the ceasefire collapsed, surprisingly little attention has
been paid to understanding the Kachin experience of the ceasefire.
This book brings together local activists with international
academics and acclaimed independent researchers to reflect on these
experiences from different perspectives. They also raise important
and enduring questions about the social, economic and political
development of Myanmar's 'border regions'. Crucially, the chapters
offer vital lessons about the dangers inherent in ceasefire
agreements when an 'armed peace' is implemented but not accompanied
by a substantive commitment to political change.
