| description |
The coup in Myanmar on 1 February 2021 abruptly reversed a
decade-long flirtation with economic and political freedoms. The country has
since descended into civil war, the people have been plunged back into conflict
and poverty, and the state is again characterised by fragility and human
insecurity. As the Myanmar people oppose the regime and fight for their rights,
the international community must find ways to act in solidarity. There is an
urgent need for new policy settings and for practical engagement with local
partners and recipient groups. The contributors to After the Coup offer timely
insights into ways international actors can try to reduce the suffering of
millions of citizens who are again being held hostage by a brutal and
self-serving regime. Chapters analyse topics including coercive statecraft,
international justice, Rakhine State (Rohingya) dynamics, pandemic
weaponisation, higher education, non-state welfare and aid delivery, activism
from exile, self-determination and power sharing in the National Unity
Government's alternative constitution, and the roles of China and the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
