Myanmar is in crisis. Six years on from the election of Myanmar's first civilian government in more than half a decade, the military has initiated a bold power grab.
Hundreds have been detained, but the military may have underestimated how strongly their people would have reacted to having their rights trampled. Amidst a popular uprising that may well become the largest in the country's history, and with the military now with their back to the wall, there's much concern that popular protests will be met with a violent crackdown.

New Books in National SecuritySusanna P.

Bridging the gaps between the peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and global governance scholarship, this book argues that international peacebuilding organizations repeatedly fail because they are accountable to global actors, not to local institutions or people. International peacebuilding organizations can succeed only when country-based staff bypass existing accountability structures and empower local stakeholders to hold their global organizations accountable for achieving local-level peacebuilding outcomes. In other words, the innovative, if seemingly wayward, actions of individual country-office staff are necessary to improve peacebuilding performance. Using in-depth studies of...
