Peace and Conflict in Burma
Aung San Suu Kyi’s party came to power in Burma a year ago amid high expectations, after an electoral landslide that ushered in the country’s first civilian government in more than 50 years. One year in, the U.S. Institute of Peace hosted a day of discussions focused on how her National League for Democracy (NLD) handled Burma’s social, economic and political transitions and dealt with violent conflicts and social tensions with ethnic groups in the country’s borderlands.
