Peace studies & conflict resolution
Burma’s Long Road to Democracy
by Priscilla Clapp
Description
A career officer in the U.S. Foreign Service, Priscilla Clapp served as U.S. chargé d’affaires and chief of mission in Burma (Myanmar) from June 1999 to August 2002. After retiring from the Foreign Service, she has continued to follow events in Burma closely and wrote a paper for the United States Institute of Peace entitled “Building Democracy in Burma,” published on the Institute’s Web site in July 2007 as Working Paper 2. In this Special Report, the author draws heavily on her Working Paper to establish the historical context for the Saffron Revolution, explain the persistence of military rule in Burma, and speculate on the country’s prospects for political transition to democracy. For more detail, particularly on the task of building the institutions for stable democracy in Burma, see Working Paper 2 at www.usip.org. This project was directed by Eugene Martin, and sponsored by the Institute’s Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention.
