Identities and the Politics of Ethnicity in Post-coup Myanmar
Identity and ethnicity have long been central to Myanmar’s extended political crisis and are key factors in the quest to build an inclusive federal democratic system.
To better understand how identity and ethnicity affect social and political preferences, systematic data is needed that can explain people’s perceptions of political systems and institutions, policy preferences and political attitudes as well as how they see themselves in relation to those with whom they share the same socio-political spaces.
This information is vital for present-day Myanmar as it stands at a crossroads, striving towards an inclusive, sustainable peace and a federal democratic union.
