NTS Alert (Mar 2012)
Abstract
This NTS Alert examines the implications of Myanmar’s recent reforms for its neighbours – China, India, Thailand and Bangladesh. Issues of major concern to the four countries include energy, humanitarian consequences and other non-traditional insecurities resulting from Myanmar’s internal challenges. The recent reforms, which advance democracy and national reconciliation, are seen to address these long-standing issues and are universally encouraged by Myanmar’s neighbours. Nevertheless, they represent just small steps forward, and more efforts are needed to achieve national reconciliation.
