Was it the end of the paradox that the basic social contradictions in the country's substantial capitalist development were not reflected in organized politics by any independent representation of subordinated groups, in spite of democratization? Beyond simplified frameworks, grounded scholars have now come together to discuss whether and how a new Indonesian politics has evolved in a number of crucial fields. Their critical insights are a valuable contribution to the study of this question." - Professor Olle Törnquist, Department of Political Science, University of Oslo Amidst successive episodes of interreligious violence in Myanmar between 2012 and 2014, interfaith dialogue emerged as a crucial conflict resolution and prevention mechanism. The 2011-16 Union Solidarity and Development Party administration often indirectly promoted the use of interfaith dialogue to defuse interreligious tensions and conflicts, though its political will was questionable. Various governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental actors have engaged in interfaith dialogue, peace, and harmony initiatives in the past seven years. The present National League for Democracy administration has more actively sought to engage in intrafaith promotion of Buddhism and in interfaith peace and harmony initiatives. Intergovernmental, international and local interfaith actors also work in the interfaith dialogue field, but their impact is relatively weak because the government remains the most important actor in Myanmar in transition. Although the National League for Democracy has largely eliminated Buddhist nationalist groups such as Ma Ba Tha, Buddhist identity politics remains influential after the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army's attacks in Rakhine State in 2016 and 2017 and the consequent refugee crisis. Although extreme anti-Muslim Buddhist identity politics may not see a resurgence in the approach to the 2020 general elections, it may come back in more nuanced forms. Interfaith dialogue and other training and activities for interreligious peace and harmony will thus remain relevant to the political scene. 410 0$aTrends in Southeast Asia ;$v2019 no. 10. 606 $aIdentity politics$zBurma 606 $aIslamophobia$zBurma 606 $aBuddhism and politics$zBurma 606 $aConflict management$zBurma 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIdentity politics 615 0$aIslamophobia 615 0$aBuddhism and politics 615 0$aConflict management 676 $a959.105/3 702 $aKyaw$b Nyi Nyi $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies, 712 02$aISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480930903321 996 $aInterreligious Conflict and the Politics of Interfaith Dialogue in Myanmar$92484936 997 $aUNINA
