Harnit Kaur Kang analyses Peace Development process in Myanmar The election of President Thein Sein in March 2011, under the auspices of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and the success the National League for Democracy’s (NLD) leader, Aung San Suu Kyi in the April 2012 parliamentary elections paved the way for an unprecedented political and economic reformation of Myanmar. As a stark departure from six decades of repressive military rule, this was a historic landmark of great expectations. Previously, the Military Junta (Tatmadaw) had an uncompromising attitude towards rebel groups and internal dissent. Today, it is actively engaging in peace negotiations. The sincerity of the reforms process can be indicated by the leadership’s openness to international observation and involvement, the diversification of foreign direct investment (FDI), encouraging private enterprise domestically and permitting democratic practices such as uncensored media reporting, the right to protest and civil society participation. claws.in/Nyapyidaw-Brokering-Peace,-Nationalism-and-Development-Harnit-Kaur-Kang.html
