While the United Nations and its agencies faced numerous obstacles as they sought to encourage national reconciliation in Myanmar, conditions in Myanmar were slowly starting to change. With a reform faction in charge, the military regime itself after 1999 slowly began experimenting with modest changes, before committing in 2008 to transfer power via a constitutional referendum and national elections, both of which it effectively controlled. This book provides the first eyewitness account of the early reform experiments.Asian studies series monograph.DemocratizationBurmaBurmaPolitics and government1988-politicsmyanmarconstitutional referendumnational electionAung San Suu KyiAustraliaYangonDemocratization959.105Wilson Trevor80075MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRU9910136756403321Eyewitness to early reform in Myanmar2024142UNINA
