Democracy isn’t built in a day: The case of Myanmar DO NOT USE
Whenever any country makes its first hopeful steps towards a more democratic government, we are easily inclined to conclude that it has become a democracy.
But real democracy is more than just elections.
It is diversity, accountability and inclusion… It is politicians and political institutions that respond to the needs of the population, and it is a population that calls its politicians to account. And these changes require much more time.
In this series of articles, written by journalist Joris Tielens for the NIMD-Vice Versa Democracy Special, we explore the aftermath of the first steps towards democracy in three very different countries: Tunesië, Colombia and Myanmar.
Part 3: Myanmar
Myanmar has a long history of violence. Since 1962, it has been under a military dictatorship, one that has been showing cracks ever since the protests staged by Buddhist monks in 2007.
At the close of 2010, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest, and Myanmar held its first free elections in November 2015. However, it is not yet considered a free democracy, but rather a democratic-authoritarian hybrid.

All right, Episode 112 of the podcast is now available! Today we pay another visit to Burma, to look at what happened from late 1988 to 2011. To start with, from this time onward, the country will usually be called Myanmar. During this period, the military is still in charge, and while the generals aren't as eccentric as Ne Win, the general who ran the show in Episode 101, they pull one crazy stunt: a new capital city is built from scratch, and the government is suddenly ordered to move to it, without previous warning. Also, we see Aung San Suu Kyi become a heroine in the eyes of the outside world, as she resists the generals. Finally, hear how a handful of Burmese discover punk rock, and use it as another way to express political opposition.
Here is the 2012 National Geographic photo mentioned in the episode. It shows an improbable couple, a punk and a monk, getting along fine on the streets of Yangon.
