SUMMARY:Book Launch & Discussion: "Winning by Process"
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, 28 November for the book launch of “Winning by Process: The State and Neutralization of Ethnic Minorities in Myanmar” (Cornell University Press) co-authored by Jacques Bertrand\, Alexandre Pelletier\, and Ardeth Maung Thawnghmung. The book launch and discussion will be held in the Subaltern Room with author Jacques Bertrand attending in-person along with discussants Ashley South and Tony Neil. \nWinning by Process asks why the peace process stalled in the decade from 2011 to 2021 despite a liberalizing regime\, a national ceasefire agreement\, and a multilateral peace dialogue between the state and ethnic minorities. The book argues that stalled conflicts are more than pauses or stalemates. “Winning by process\,” as opposed to winning by war or agreement\, represents the state’s ability to gain advantage by manipulating the rules of negotiation\, bargaining process\, and sites of power and resources. During the last decade\, the Myanmar state and military controlled the process\, neutralized ethnic minority groups\, and continued to impose their vision of a centralized state even as they appeared to support federalism.

His background is in environmental education\, field ornithology and botany\, and he has completed research projects on sacred and community forests in Nepal\, human-elephant relations among the Karen in Thailand\, and plant knowledge among the Raglai of Vietnam. His ongoing PhD project looks at how the circulation of plants has helped Hmong communities adapt to life in the global diaspora.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Everyday Justice and State Evasion in Myanmar
DESCRIPTION:15 March 2022 – 1.30 to 3:30PM\nVenue: RCSD Meeting Room (In person and online)\n\n\n\nIn Myanmar people’s access to justice has been severely hampered by decades of authoritarian military rule\, identity politics and ongoing conflicts. The violent reimposition of military rule in February 2021 has drastically undermined people’s fragile sense of security and hope that the country might change\, including prospects for reform in the justice sector. However\, even prior to the coup\, the central state justice system has not been associated with the provision of justice\, but with discrimination\, corruption\, and injustices. Drawing on ethnographies of everyday justice across Myanmar (Naga\, Karen\, Mon\, Pa-O\, Rakhine\, Yangon) in the pre-coup period\, this seminar illuminates how ordinary people use alternative pathways to justice and deliberately evade the state. This is shaped by a strong preference for customary\, ethnic-based\, and village-level dispute resolution systems\, and by a deep mistrust in centralized authority and official state law. Ethno-religious forms of belonging and cultural and religious norms\, also shape justice preferences and ethnic justice systems have formed part of ongoing struggles for recognition\, federalism\, and self-determination by different ethnic organisations. The seminar will reflect on how research on everyday justice continues to be relevant in understanding and moving beyond the current crisis following the 1 February 2021 coup in Myanmar.\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\nHelene Maria Kyed\, Danish Institute for International Studies\nMyat Thet Thitsar\, Nyan Corridor and Enlightened Myanmar Research Foundation\nThang Sorn Poine\, Nyan Corridor and Enlightened Myanmar Research Foundation\nJustine Chambers\, Danish Institute for International Studies\n\n\n\nDiscussant(s):\nKim Jolliffe\nMay Oo Muttraw (မေဦးမုတြော်)\n\n\n\nTo attend the Zoom meeting\, please register to get the zoom link at https://cmu-th.zoom.us/…/tJEucumurzkvE9NxSJnndFM8AVf7…\n\n\nFor people attending on site\, please register via this link https://forms.gle/BeTag1vK8MFVisHXA
