In this panel we introduce the concept of ‘border governance’ to discuss the multiplex practices and modes of governance tha t co-exist and often compete in the ethnic states of Myanmar, bordering Ban gladesh, China, India, Thailand and Laos. These borderlands have a long his tory of ethno-nationalist conflict and the internal borders of these areas in relation to the centre have been extremely influential in shaping the co untry’s political history and particularly its decades of structural discri mination, violence and persecution of minority ethnic groups. Papers on the panel will explore border governance through the lens of migration, local orders, political\nexclusion, and (if Helene presents) competing state-maki ng processes.
