SUMMARY:Ethnic Organizations and Cooperation of Multiple Stakeholders in Strengthening Transition and Promoting Diversity in Myanmar
LOCATION:Room 1.504
DESCRIPTION:The opening of a new chapter in political history in 2016 gave 
 much hope to the people and encouraged the international players to work wi
 th the NLD-led administration for bringing democracy, human rights, peace, 
 and development, which had been absent in Myanmar for long. However, in con
 trast to the high hope and expectation, the realities on the ground are fil
 led with many new challenges, unresolved old problems, and the emergence of
  sudden crises caused mainly by the multiple divisions exist in society. Du
 e to the new opportunities and challenges faced differently by each group, 
 the country is divided into a greater number of socially and self-identifie
 d groups in terms of ethnicity, religion, political belief, race, and socia
 l strata. Most of the recent crises are deliberately created by exploiting 
 nationalism through religious extremism, ethnic inequality, colonial histor
 y, and multiple disparities, resulting in ‘instability’, ‘divisions’ and ‘c
 onflicts’. Therefore, non-state players, starting from ethnic organizations
 , local academics, media, and individuals have taken initiatives to play co
 nstructive, supplementary as well as evaluative roles to support the fragil
 e transition. They are bridging the huge gap left by the state by promoting
  fair rights and opportunities for development, and equal voices for justic
 e and diversity as an obligation of the citizens.\n\nThis panel will be a p
 latform of exchange among presenters and between the speakers and the audie
 nce to accommodate different ideas, socio-ecological information, situation
 al analysis, principles and approaches in dealing with local realities, nat
 ional policy, and local politico-administrative implications. It also serve
 s as a useful tool of both inputs and outputs in strengthening Myanmar’s tr
 ansition by building a ‘stability’ from the community level.
