Since 2011, Myanmar has experienced many changes to its social,
political and economic landscape. The formation of a new government
in 2016, led by the National League for Democracy, was a crucially
important milestone in the country's transition to a more inclusive
form of governance. And yet, for many people everyday struggles
remain unchanged, and have worsened in recent years. Key economic,
social and political reforms have stalled, conflict persists, and
longstanding issues of citizenship and belonging remain. The
wide-ranging challenges of living with Myanmar are the subject of
this volume. Each other offers a different perspective on the
socio-political and economic mutations occurring in the country and
the challenges that still remain. The book is divided into six
sections, and covers critical issues ranging from gender equality
and identity politics to agrarian reform and the representative
role parliament. Collectively, these voices raise key questions
concerning the institutional legacies of military rule and their
ongoing role in subverting the country's reform process. However,
they also offer insights in the creative and productive ways the
Myanmar's activists, civil society, parliamentarians, bureaucrats
and everyday people attempt to engage with and reform those
legacies.
