Nishikawa explores how international norms have been adopted in the
local context in Myanmar to project a certain international image,
while in fact the authorities are exploiting these norms to protect
their own interests. In the liberal international world order
promoted since the end of the Cold War, democracy, rule of law and
human rights have become key components in state and peace-building
around the world. Many donor governments and international
organisations have promoted them in their aid and assistance.
However, the promotion of these international norms is based on a
flawed understanding of sovereignty and the world. For this reason,
the enforcement of these international norms in Myanmar not only
fails to protect vulnerable people but also, in some instances,
exacerbates the situation, thereby generating critical insecurity
to the most vulnerable people. A vital resource for scholars of
Myanmar’s politics, as well as a valuable case study for
International Relations scholars more broadly.
