(Myanmar) The genie will not return to the bottle: Understanding the pro-democracy protests in Myanmar (Brookings)

February 12, 2021

Myanmar’s experiment with partial democracy allowed the genie to escape from the bottle, and the country’s citizens have no intention of putting it back. Welfare, service delivery, and governance have improved so dramatically since the 2008 constitution was unveiled and since the National League for Democracy (NLD) first assumed control over parliament in 2015 that many see a return to military rule as an existential threat. As one protester put it to the New York Times: “I don’t care if they shoot, because under military, our lives will be dead anyway.”
