{"product_id":"9781032883809","title":"New Answers to Old Questions : Myanmar Before and After the 2021 Coup d'Etat by Shona Loong","description":"Outside Myanmar, the 2021 coup d'?tat has often been portrayed as the end of a hopeful period for the country. In this Adelphi book, however, Aaron Connelly and Shona Loong argue that the Aung San Suu Kyi government that preceded it was a false dawn, unlikely to fulfil the international community's aspirations for a stable, peaceful and strong Myanmar. Instead, the movement opposing the 2021 coup holds much greater promise - despite the bloody conflict that dominates the news today. Connelly and Loong survey three fundamental relationships that have shaped Myanmar before and after the coup - between the military and the state, between the majority Burmese and ethnic minorities, and between Myanmar and the world - to explain how opposition to the coup has shifted all of them in a more liberal, pluralist and cosmopolitan direction.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295958806901,"sku":"9781032883809","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032883809.jpg?v=1762769697","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781032883809","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
