Introduction. -- Myanmar's nonviolent action landscape. -- The widening divide between civil society and the NLD. -- Obstacles to mobilization. -- Conclusion and recommendations |
| Summary |
The National League for Democracy's decisive victory in Myanmar's 2015 elections inspired hopes of a full transition from military rule and an opening of civil space. Neither has materialized, and the groups working to advance social, political, and economic change in Myanmar continue to face significant challenges. Focusing on three cases of organized nonviolent action in Kachin, Mandalay, and Yangon, this report explores the divide that has opened between civil society and the NLD government and the rifts emerging within civil society itself |
