05/04/2005 | SUPPORTING BURMA/MYANMAR’S NATIONAL RECONCILIATION PROCESS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES. AN INDEPENDENT REPORT for the European Commission

INTRODUCTION

Based on a recent mission to Myanmar, backed by more than 30 years of research experience on the country, Professor Robert Taylor and Mr. Morten Pedersen advance an alternative approach for the EU and its member states to the issue of achieving national reconciliation in Myanmar. Recognising both the failure of the current EU position to achieve any of its stated aims and the negative effects of isolation and sanctions on the Myanmar people and society, the report highlights the vital importance of governance and economic factors in generating the conditions for a sustainable political opening toward a more democratic society.
