Dramatic events are unfolding in Myanmar. The election result has been canceled. Civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been arrested and charged. The military has once again taken control. What does this mean for the future of the country and, more broadly, for democratization movements in Southeast Asia?
Join us to hear insights from a panel of experts, who will discuss the political, historical, and religious backgrounds to these developments.
This event is presented by the Keough School of Global Affairs and its Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies and Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
