SUMMARY:(P42AB) Myanmar’s Changing Currents: Origins, Processes, Stakeholders and Impacts in Centre and Periphery Relations (1)
LOCATION:K14 | 2.05
DESCRIPTION:Political stability, economic growth, development, foreign poli
 cy, democratic consolidation and prospects for peace in Myanmar are all at 
 a critical juncture. The military’s institutionalisation of its influence a
 nd control in political, economic and social aspects have been negatively a
 ffecting the safety, security and peace of people and their communities at 
 the periphery. Although it is in the best interest for both the current rul
 ing party (NLD) and ethnic minorities to reduce military prerogatives in th
 e age of Myanmar’s recent democratisation, the reality is far more challeng
 ing and the centre-periphery relations remain volatile. The NLD has been fa
 cing roadblocks and confrontations created by the military, which resulted 
 in making little progress on peace, law-based society and federal state. Th
 is often fuelled minorities’ suspicion on the Bamar-dominated NLD. In addit
 ion, the promotion of identity-based divisions driven by extremism has been
  escalating in the contexts of nationalism, religion and ethnicity. Despite
  the NLD’s landslide victory again in the 2020 election, new divisions on t
 he political agenda and ethnic lines are added challenges amidst the many p
 otential prospects towards peace, national\nreconciliation, and democratic 
 consolidation. Against this backdrop, non-state stakeholders such as ethnic
  organisations, local academics, media, and individuals have taken grassroo
 ts initiatives towards securing a genuine democratic transition by engaging
  in awareness-cum-capacity promotion of the marginalised population. Such p
 rocesses of social innovation-based\nempowerment measures to benefit the lo
 cal people/communities can impact the improvement of centre-periphery relat
 ions in one way or another. This panel therefore analyses the roles of diff
 erent non-state stakeholders in Myanmar’s fragile transition by raising the
  issues of community peace, borderland stability, and post-election governa
 nce. Accordingly, it sheds light on the processes and impacts of their soci
 al innovation through bottom-up ways and means in promoting awareness and c
 apacity of the people towards carving out a new shared future at the local 
 and national level
