A diverse array of esteemed authors, each bringing their unique expertise, contribute fresh perspectives to lay the groundwork for future international cooperation in both Myanmar's central and peripheral regions. Regrettably, the military's institutionalization of its influence and control in political, economic, and social affairs has had a detrimental impact on the safety, security, and peace of individuals and communities at the periphery. This, in turn, has sparked a wave of local grassroots initiatives aimed at securing a genuine democratic transition at the local and national levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book delve deep into Myanmar's transition and political crisis, exploring a range of critical issues such as state fragility, community resilience, political leadership, ethnic women's organizations, human security, education equality, internally displaced persons (IDPs), non-state actors, ethnic community-based health organizations, the 2020 election, peace processes, development challenges, the coup's devastating consequences, and the emergence of a newfound unity. This book serves as a valuable resource for a wide audience, including general readers, students, and practitioners, thanks to its collection of insightful inputs from young and prominent scholars alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe editors of this volume present it as a crucial contribution to the literature, particularly in the context of the ongoing political crisis and societal responses to Myanmar's current trajectory since the contributors emphasize both the state of Myanmar and the margins, the grassroots, and the recent coup. By highlighting these various aspects, the book provides a holistic understanding of the complex dynamics shaping Myanmar's future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 491g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811666773\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44302307229946,"sku":"9789811666773","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_2d4f46b6-70e0-48dd-8ed5-678640ce228e.jpg?v=1687924735","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/demystifying-myanmars-transition-and-political-crisis-9789811666773","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
