It offers a new interpretation of Aung San Suu Kyi by presenting a balanced and thorough account of Suu Kyi's policies. In the last 30 years there has not been a person in global politics who has risen so high and fallen so low - and so quickly - as Aung San Suu Kyi. Using postcolonial theory and introducing the new concept of "a hybrid politician", this book explains apparent inconsistencies of Suu Kyi's agenda. It demonstrates that Suu Kyi considers herself a democrat and yet, rules autocratically. Immersed in her country's tradition of policymaking, she has at the same time been influenced by foreign concepts, both Western and Asian. Drawing on first-hand research, including talks with Suu Kyi, conversations with her supporters and rivals, observations of Suu Kyi's behaviour during intergovernmental talks as well as an extensive number or sources and fieldwork to Myanmar, the author argues that Suu Kyi's case shows both the strengths and limits of hybridity. This brings Suu Kyi priceless political assets such as visibility, recognition and support while proving that such a model of leadership has its restrictions. A timely biography of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate as she appears at the International Court of Justice to defend her country against charges of genocide committed against the Rohingya Muslim minority, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of Myanmar politics, Southeast Asian politics, Asian politics, Political Science more generally, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Studies and Leadership Studies"-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aPolitics in Asia series. 517 $aPolitical Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi 606 $aWomen political activists$zBurma$vBiography 606 $aWomen politicians$zBurma$vBiography 606 $aWomen political prisoners$zBurma$vBiography 606 $aWomen Nobel Prize winners$zBurma$vBiography 607 $aBurma$xPolitics and government$y1988- 615 0$aWomen political activists 615 0$aWomen politicians 615 0$aWomen political prisoners 615 0$aWomen Nobel Prize winners 676 $a959.105092 700 $aLubina$b Micha?$0866018 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773603003321 996 $aPolitical Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi$93662369 997 $aUNINA
