This book explores the nature, scope, merits and limits of international responses to Myanmar's February 2021 coup. The novelty of this book lies in its analysis of the coup in the digital age. While the literature on Myanmar addresses issues such as earlier periods of reform, Myanmar's political transition, the Saffron revolution, and human rights, there is still limited research that looks into the influence of digitalised Myanmar on the post-coup Civil Disobedience Movement and protestors. Myanmar opened and changed enormously in the past ten years. The use of technology and the Internet increased phenomenally, exposing Myanmar's citizenry to new ideas, experiences and ways of viewing the world. The impact of these developments on responses to the 2021 coup is the focus of this book.
Myanmar's opening to the world and its digitalisation has made this coup different from the three previous coups. The book's starting point is that diplomacy is no longer (if it everwas) the preserve of governments and diplomats. International organisations, not-for-profit organisations, large corporations, academia, civil society, social media, and even individuals have all been engaged and sought to influence developments.
Drawing extensively on primary sources (official statements by UN agencies, foreign governments, international corporations, NGOs and Burma campaign activists) and experiences as a senior diplomat and an academic working with Myanmar's government to build cyber capacity and cyber security awareness, this book takes a fresh look at all forms of international behaviour that seek to bring about change in a rogue or pariah state. The book will be the first to study the part played by Gen Z and their facility with smart phone technology to mobilise, inform and build opposition to the coup. To what extent did the youth of Myanmar learn from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and the so-called "milk tea alliance"? How has dependenceon the internet affected the operations of the security forces and the Civil Disobedience Movement? How did both sides deploy misinformation and disinformation to achieve their respective goals?
The book thus provides an informative guide for those seeking an understanding of what has happened and what, short of a military intervention, can be done about it. It examines international responses in the first year following the coup, candidly assessing their feasibility, efficacy and utility. Recent developments are situated within the context of Myanmar's modern history and the discourse on the effectiveness of sanctions compared with engagement.
The book also critically examines ASEAN's role - how does ASEAN see its role, how does the National Unity Government regard ASEAN endeavours, and how does the rest of the world view ASEAN's capacity to address Myanmar's problems? We evaluate ASEAN's principle of non-interference in the internalaffairs of member states. Does this principle matter more to it than judgments about its weakness and inability to deal with breaches of the ASEAN Charter?

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討國際對緬甸2021年2月政變的反應的性質、範圍、優點和限制。本書的創新之處在於其對數位時代政變的分析。雖然有關緬甸的文獻涉及早期改革、緬甸的政治過渡、藏紅花革命和人權等問題，但對數位化的緬甸對政變後的公民不服從運動和抗議者的影響的研究仍然有限。過去十年，緬甸的開放和變化巨大。科技和互聯網的使用驚人地增加，使緬甸公民接觸到新的思想、經驗和世界觀。這些發展對2021年政變反應的影響是本書的重點。

緬甸對世界的開放及其數位化使這次政變與之前的三次政變有所不同。本書的出發點是，外交不再是（如果曾經是）政府和外交官的專利。國際組織、非營利組織、大型企業、學術界、公民社會、社交媒體，甚至個人都參與其中，並試圖影響事態發展。

本書廣泛引用了第一手資料（聯合國機構、外國政府、國際企業、非政府組織和緬甸運動活動家的官方聲明）以及作為高級外交官和與緬甸政府合作建立網絡能力和網絡安全意識的學者的經驗，對所有試圖在流氓或被孤立國家中帶來變革的國際行為進行了全新的審視。本書將首次研究Z世代在動員、資訊傳遞和建立對政變的反對方面所發揮的作用。緬甸的年輕人從香港、台灣、泰國和所謂的「奶茶聯盟」中學到了什麼？對互聯網的依賴如何影響安全部隊和公民不服從運動的運作？雙方又是如何利用錯誤資訊和假資訊來實現各自的目標？

因此，本書為那些尋求了解發生了什麼以及在不進行軍事干預的情況下可以做些什麼的人提供了資訊指南。它檢視了政變後第一年內的國際反應，坦率地評估其可行性、有效性和實用性。最近的發展被置於緬甸現代歷史的背景下，並與制裁與接觸的有效性討論相結合。

本書還批判性地檢視了東南亞國家聯盟（ASEAN）的角色——ASEAN如何看待其角色，國家團結政府如何看待ASEAN的努力，世界其他地方又如何看待ASEAN解決緬甸問題的能力？我們評估ASEAN不干涉成員國內政的原則。這一原則對ASEAN來說是否比對其弱點和無法處理ASEAN憲章違規行為的評價更為重要？
