- Abstract
- This article surveys the trajectory of peace and conflict studies in Myanmar—from its
early focus on civil war and insurgency, to state institutions and ethnic armed actors,
and later broadening into relational and networked approaches covering formal
peace processes, regional geopolitics, conflict economies, and everyday peacebuilding.
It suggests that the widening of peace and conflict studies was brought about by
the opening of the country from the early 2010s, which both granted scholars and
researchers more access to the country and introduced new foreign specialists,
discourses, and developmental actors into the political sphere. The peace agenda
and directions of peace studies have been upended by the military coup of 2021;
how reconciliation, justice, and federal democratic reform will look like in the future
remains to be seen.
