| Summary |
"This book examines the decade of missed opportunities in Myanmar between 2011 and 2021 as it came closer to peace than ever before. The regime liberalized, held mostly free and fair elections, reached a national ceasefire agreement with armed groups, and began a multilateral peace dialogue with ethnic minorities. Yet little was achieved. 'Winning by process,' as opposed to winning by war or by agreement, represents the state's ability to gain advantage by manipulating the rules of negotiation, bargaining process, and sites of power and resources" -- Provided by publisher |
