Question

Explain the contemporary condition of Myanmar.

Answer 1

After five decades of autocratic military rule, Burma (also known as Myanmar) has initiated a critical transformation to representative democracy. But regional and national tensions threaten the already tenuous transition: Disagreements between the military and elected civilian government, intercommunal and religious cleavages, and precarious security structures strain the capacity of leadership and risk the nation’s stability.

USIP’S Work

Since 2012, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) has supported security reform; increased the conflict resolution skills of local and national leaders, professionals, and citizens; and bolstered the peace process through training, education, and community engagement programs. USIP’s recent work includes:

Training the Police Force. The nation’s Chief of Police asked USIP to train hundreds of Myanmar Police Force officers from 13 states and regions on the best ways to prevent, mitigate, and resolve local conflict. USIP responded with the Policing for Peace program—a series of workshops, seminars, dialogues, and trainings for trainers. Launched in 2014, the Policing for Peace program is part of USIP’s long-term strategy to institutionalize effective security by embedding conflict management approaches within the police force.
