SUMMARY:Implications of the Chinland Council for Myanmar’s Resistance in 2024
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: Join us for a discussion with Zo Tum Hmung\, Executive Director of the Chin Association of Maryland\, about what the restructuring of governance in Chin State means for Myanmar’s resistance. The creation of a Chinland Council in northwestern Myanmar is helping to bring together a divided ethnic minority in a move that could have implications for the resistance against the military junta. While the new council faces barriers to progress and has raised many questions\, a new governance structure and constitution work to reinvent the relationship between Chin State and central power in Myanmar. Featured Speaker: \nZo Tum Hmung\, Executive Director\, Chin Association of Maryland \nZo Tum Hmung is the Executive Director of Chin Association of Maryland\, Inc. He previously co-founded the Ethnic Nationalities Affairs Center-Union of Burma (ENAC)\, a research center that supports the peace process and development of democratic institutions in Burma\, and served as its first Executive Director. In 2003\, he completed his Master of Public Administration from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government\, focusing on foreign policy and negotiations. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Report launch: Five scenarios for Russia’s future
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event  \nDescription: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has reverberated around the world\, challenging many preconceived notions about Russia and the global order. Moscow’s war has sparked debate about the future of Ukraine\, NATO\, and Western institutions\, but also requires a renewed understanding of the continued threat posed by a revanchist Kremlin. To respond to the specter of continued Russian aggression\, it is essential to take stock of how Russia looks and interacts with the world today and how it might change—or not—in the future. \nA new paper series from the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center seeks to reevaluate our understanding of Russia in the wake of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The first paper of this series\, from author Casey Michel\, explores what five paths Russia’s future might take. The paper examines possible future developments in Russia\, their respective likelihoods\, and how Western policymakers should prepare for each scenario. What forces will shape Russia’s wartime reality and its longer-term future? What fate awaits Russian President Vladimir Putin? How will the course of Russia’s war on Ukraine be shaped by Russia’s domestic situation? The Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center gathers a panel of experts to discuss these questions and more. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Historical\, Cultural\, and Linguistic Approaches to Elections in Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs| In-Person Event  \nDescription: As Benedict Anderson once observed\, “normal voting is in many ways a peculiar activity”: One joins a queue of people whom one does not typically know\, to take a turn to enter a solitary space\, where one pulls levers or marks pieces of paper\, and then leaves the site with the same calm discretion with which one enters it – without questions being asked. It is almost the only political act imaginable in perfect solitude\, and it is completely symbolic. With alarm bells ringing in recent years about democracy’s decline\, the election experience is more closely watched than ever. But how just much can elections tell us? The panelists in this session consider historical\, linguistic and cultural contexts as a means of exploring the diverse ways in which electoral practices are framed\, interpreted and enacted in one of the most richly varied regions of the world: Southeast Asia. With experts presenting case studies from Myanmar\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Philippines\, Vietnam and Cambodia\, scholars will not only ask how the elections are events that point to the future\, but also how they presuppose cultural assumptions rooted in the past. \nDay and time: Feb 2\, 3-5:30\, with reception to follow. \nThe registration link can be found below.
