Myanmar: Regressed, Stalled or Moving Forward?
Myanmar is in the third year of a historic transition. There is active debate in Washington whether the reforms have regressed, stalled, or progressed. Between August 17 and 22, 2014, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) organized a delegation to examine the status of the Myanmar transition in three key dimensions: health and development; political reform and governance; and conflict resolution with the country’s minority groups.
On October 22 from 3:00PM to 5:00PM we will gather at CSIS for the release of the delegation's report, Myanmar: Regressed, Stalled, or Moving Forward? The session will feature reflections by delegation members, a keynote from a senior administration official, and panel discussions on electoral preparations and critical health challenges. Refreshments will be provided.
