Myanmar: Cross-Cutting Governance Challenges
Hendrix, Cullen; Noland, Marcus | March 2015
Abstract
Since its nascent transition to democratic rule 2010, Myanmar has embarked on economic reforms, and the resolution of multiple longstanding civil conflicts. These transitions coincide with a resource-led economic boom. The paper assesses the current status and performance of governance institutions in comparison to ASEAN and selected other countries. Specifically, the paper discusses outstanding problem areas
related to economic governance, particularly in the legal system, the business regulatory framework, and in bureaucratic capacity. It also touches on Myanmar’s initiation into the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) process to strengthen Myanmar’s ongoing reform effort.
