Abstract

The military coup of February 1, 2021 ended Myanmar’s nominal transition to democracy. That transition had begun with the 2010 election under the military-drafted 2008 Constitution. The coup and post-coup Myanmar’s crises are the tip of the iceberg of a long endured political crisis about how to build an inclusive political system that respects the ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity of Burmese society at large. This article argues that the 2021 military coup itself may be a much-needed event for the future history of Burma: the coup has provoked resistance across ethnicity and religion to an unprecedented level.

缅甸多中心联邦制民主的必要性
2021年2月1日的军事政变结束了缅甸名义上的民主过渡。这种转变始于2010年根据军方起草的2008年宪法进行的选举。缅甸的政变和政变后危机只是长期政治危机的冰山一角,这场政治危机关乎如何建立一个包容的政治制度,尊重缅甸社会的种族、文化和宗教多样性。本文认为,2021年的军事政变本身可能是缅甸未来历史上急需的事件:政变引发了种族和宗教之间前所未有的抵抗。
