Although M yanmar’s first struggle for independence from colonizers was successfully o btained through the unity among its ethnic stakeholders and the majority, t he people’s hope outlined in the Panglong Agreement to build an independent nation with equality guaranteed for its ethnic partners, had been destroye d by the assassination of its founding father. Moreover, the military-led c oups and institutionalization of military influence in political, economic, and social spheres of Myanmar have resulted in negative impacts on the saf ety, peace, and prosperity of citizens and their communities at the centre and the periphery alike. The myriad of crises and the cycles of violence ex acerbated by the 2021 coup have triggered a second struggle for independenc e in Myanmar: this time, to achieve independence from the military. This pa nel is designed as a platform to exchange ideas and assessment among the pr esenters, focusing firstly on the strengths and shortcomings of Myanmar’s p olitical transition prior to the 2021 coup. Secondly, the discussion will f ocus on post-coup political currents including the collective defense by pe ople against the coup and subsequent crises as well as the stakeholders’ ef forts in building Myanmar’s new setting URL:https://euroseas2022.org/panels/myanmar-s-continuing-struggles-coups-crises-and-cycles-of-violence DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220629T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220629T153000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240424T153600 UID:euroseas-2022-myanmar-s-continuing-struggles-coups-crises-and-cycles-of-violence-2 SUMMARY:Myanmar’s Continuing Struggles: Coups, Crises, and Cycles of Violence (2) LOCATION:Room 3.09 DESCRIPTION:Myanmar has been a country of struggle fueled by coups, crises, and cycles of violence perpetuated by the military institution.
