Webinar: Myanmar in 2024: Expectations and Outlook

Date and Time: Feb 1, 2024 from 4:00pm HST

Three years after seizing power in 2021, the writing on the wall looms larger for the State Administration Council (SAC) military regime in Myanmar. The economy’s dead-alive state indicates the deteriorating socio-economic situation in the country, now entering a fourth year under military rule. Resistance against the military continues across Myanmar, with several parts of the country contesting SAC control more than before. Operation 1027, launched by ethnic armed organisations in northern Shan State in October 2023, has caused much discussion on whether the SAC can maintain its grip on the country. Yet, plans for a census and a projected election continue. ISEAS Myanmar Studies Programme joins in conversation two long-time analysts on the expectations and outlook for Myanmar in 2024, including the potential trajectory and implications of Operation 1027, attitudes and responses of the various political and ethnic stakeholders towards the current spiral of conflict, the context of various “peace” negotiations, aspirations for federalism, and the SAC’s moves in proceeding with census and elections.
