Journal Abstract

Myanmar has been grappling with internal conflicts and instability since colonialism, ethnic tensions, and military dominance. These issues have led to political turmoil, humanitarian crises, and human rights violations, particularly with the 2021 military coup. This article examines the historical context, socio-cultural underpinnings, and political landscape that have influenced Myanmar's current situation. It proposes solutions focusing on inclusive political dialogue, social cohesion, economic development, and improved governance. It also highlights the role of regional and international actors like India, ASEAN, and China in influencing Myanmar's path towards stability. The paper aims to illuminate pathways for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region, revealing the causes of unrest and identifying potential avenues for peace and enduring stability in Myanmar.
