Event Description : Ananta Aspen Centre presents “Myanmar Elections: Why Do They Matter?” panel discussion.
The upcoming Parliamentary elections in Myanmar will determine the nation’s future trajectory. Marking a major inflection point in the process of political transformation, the elections will be held five years after the present semi-civilian reformist government came to power. The broader political environment is freer and fairer; giving rise to the hope that this time the process will be credible, inclusive and peaceful. However, major challenges stand in the way- the periphery of the country is affected by armed conflict; rising Burmese nationalism and anti-Muslim sentiment threatens to explode into violence; and minority Rohingya Muslims in the western state of Rakhine have been disenfranchised and persecuted. The result of the elections will determine the country’s response to longstanding issues and the pace of further reforms. Its impact would be felt beyond Myanmar’s borders as it would have consequences for the region, including India and its Northeast. For India, Myanmar is a strategically important country that can link it to Southeast Asia and open new vistas in the region.
The Session will focus on current challenges and future possibilities the nascent democracy of Myanmar faces, and its implications for India, Myanmar's other neighbors, and the region.
Speakers:
Ambassador Rajiv Bhatia, Author, Commentator and Former Ambassador to Myanmar
Dr Sanjoy Hazarika, Director of the Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research at Jamia Millia Islamia
Ms Suhasini Haider, Diplomatic Editor, the Hindu
Chair- Ambassador S K Lambah, Chairman, Ananta Aspen Centre; and Former Special Envoy of the Prime Minister
