Description:
"Myanmar?s liberalizing reforms initiated by President Thein Sein after taking office in March 2011 are raising high hopes of peace and democracy in
the country. Progress, after nearly three years, has however been uneven:
there have been positive developments in the area of press freedom, with
regard to political prisoners and in dealing with the political opposition. At
the same time the dialogue with ethnic groups has stagnated and ethnic and
religious violence has escalated. This Asia Policy Brief critically assesses the
reform policy and weighs up the chances of democratization of the long-time
military regime..."
