Melissa Earl (Kimetrica) is the author of this report and reachable at [email protected] or at Kimetrica LLC, 80 Garden Center, Suite A-368, Broomfield, CO 80020. The author’s views in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. 1 MAY 2019 AT A GLANCE The Tatmadaw extended its unilateral ceasefire in northern and northeastern Myanmar to June 30. The announcement came just after the Tatmadaw met with Northern Alliance members. Most analysts believe the Tatmadaw extended the ceasefire to concentrate on fighting the Arakan Army in Rakhine State. (Page 1) Fighting between the Arakan Army and the Tatmadaw moved further south to Ann Township in Rakhine State. While investment in the state is concentrated in southern Rakhine, fighting in central Rakhine is worrisome for the Government’s plans for development in the state. (Pages 2-4) The Shan State Progress Party (SSPP) and the Restoration Council of Shan State agreed to stop fighting and pursue a peace agreement. (Pages 4-5) The USDP submitted four additional proposals to amend the constitution. The proposed amendments focus on decentralization and will likely be sent to the Constitutional Amendment Committee for review. (Pages 7-8) Three agreements were signed by the Myanmar and Chinese governments following Aung San Suu Kyi’s attendance of the Belt and Road Initiative Forum in Beijing last month.

  • (BRI) in Myanmar
    MYANMAR POLICY BRIEFING | 22 | November 2019 Selling the Silk Road Spirit: China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Myanmar Key points • Rather than a ‘grand strategy’ the BRI is a broad and loosely governed framework of activities seeking to address a crisis in Chinese capitalism. Almost any activity, implemented by any actor in any place can be included under the BRI framework and branded as a ‘BRI project’. This allows Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and provincial governments to promote their own projects in pursuit of profit and economic growth. Where necessary, the central Chinese government plays a strong politically support- ive role. It also maintains a semblance of control and leadership over the initiative as a whole. But with such a broad framework, and a multitude of actors involved, the Chinese government has struggled to effectively govern BRI activities. • The BRI is the latest initiative in three decades of efforts to promote Chinese trade and investment in Myanmar. Following the suspension of the Myitsone hydropower dam project and Myanmar’s political and economic transition to a new system of quasi-civilian government in the early 2010s, Chinese companies faced greater competition in bidding for projects and the Chinese Government became frustrated. The rift between the Myanmar government and the international community following the Rohingya crisis in Rakhine State provided the Chinese government with an opportunity to rebuild closer ties with their counterparts in Myanmar. The China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) was launched as the primary mechanism for BRI activities in Myanmar, as part of the Chinese government’s economic approach to addressing the conflicts in Myanmar.

  • Elections in November: a Profile of Supporters of Myanmar's Ruling
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 94 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 28 August 2020 Elections in November: A Profile of Supporters of Myanmar’s Ruling NLD Nyi Nyi Kyaw* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Partisanship is on the rise in the run-up to Myanmar’s 8 November 2020 general election. In this context, the typical supporter of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party is often denigrated by critics and opposition forces as irrationally partisan. • Lumping together all NLD supporters as an irrational, partisan community overlooks the diversity among them. There are at least three types of NLD supporters: o the individually expressive supporters are partisans of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD; o the socially expressive supporters consider voting a social or civic duty; and o the instrumental voters point to the continued dominance of the military in Myanmar’s politics and the potential return of its proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) as reasons for supporting for the NLD. • These three types of voters are not necessarily mutually exclusive; an expressive voter can at the same time be an instrumental voter. * Nyi Nyi Kyaw is Visiting Fellow in the Myanmar Studies Programme, ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, and Assistant Professor (adjunct) in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, National University of Singapore. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 94 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In the past five years, the image of the supporter of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party and its chairwoman State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has become rather tarnished.
