This is the first comprehensive account of the multifaceted
processes of gendered transformation that took place in Myanmar
between 2011 and 2021, and which continues to shape events today.
The period began with the end of direct military rule and the
transition to a hybrid, semi-democratic regime, precipitating
far-reaching political, economic and social changes across Myanmar.
To date, the gendered dynamics and effects of this transition have
not yet received sustained scholarly attention. Remedying this gap,
this book provides a much-needed historical corrective through a
careful, nuanced analysis of the gendered dynamics of transitional
politics, institutions and policymaking; feminist resistance,
mobilization, and movement building; and their effects on labor,
land, and everyday lives. Although the February 2021 military coup
brought an end to this decade of experimentation and transition, in
the richness of its analysis and detail, the book offers a deeper
understanding of the current political situation in Myanmar. The
gendered changes that the transition brought about have shaped both
the current configuration of masculinized, military dictatorship,
as well as the unprecedented role played by women in resistance to
military rule after the 2021 coup. This analysis of the gendered
dynamics and effects of the recent decade of political transition
in Myanmar is therefore critical for understanding current events,
as well as the ways in which Myanmar's political landscape might
continue to be reshaped.
