Summary/Abstract |
Since 2011, Myanmar has undergone a period of extraordinary political and economic change. The government has partially democratized, reengaged with the international community, and sought to improve ordinary citizens' quality of life. Yet for all these achievements, the transition process has been uneven. The military has maintained a large degree of power and influence, and divisions persist within the government regarding the extent to which political openness and public accountability should be institutionalized. Further reforms are likely to be contentious.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the experience of religious minorities in Myanmar between 2011 and 2017 in the context of the 2008 constitution and a new system of governance. It highlights the precarity of religious minorities and argues that neither the constitution nor the state were reliable sources of protection or redress during this period. The first section considers the multiple identities of religious minorities with regard to citizenship and national belonging. The second section elucidates how an enabling environment for Buddhist nationalism emerged and what types of actions state and non-state actors have taken with regard to religious minorities. The final section addresses the 2008 constitution and rule of law in Myanmar in order to understand the challenges for religious minorities in securing justice and protection.

Summary/Abstract |
During its second year in office, Myanmar’s NLD government made little progress on its agenda to restore peace, reduce the role of the military in politics, and raise standards of living for the poor. Instead, the dominant issues were the security crisis in Rakhine State and the exodus of half the Rohingya population.
