Myanmar sanctions

As Myanmar's junta digs in, the ultimate end goal of the growing international pressure remains unclear.

The move came the day that the U.S. government imposed a third round of sanctions on Myanmar's military.

Myanmar's military is banking on the world going no further than “harsh words, some economic sanctions and travel bans.”

The announcement came two days after at least 38 protesters were shot dead by security forces.

Military leaders in Myanmar aim to project an air of “business as usual.” The realities on the ground suggest that it’s anything but.

How the EU reacts to the coup is litmus test not only for its support of democracy in Myanmar, but also for its capacity to adjust to new systemic challenges in the region.

The difference in Western governments' reaction to the two episodes suggests a misplaced focus on electoral procedures.

Anti-coup protesters are unlikely to be swayed by Sen. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing's call for unity.

A week on, the military coup is exacting an increasingly steep economic cost.

New measures announced this week have spotlighted the Trump administration’s approach toward Naypyidaw.

The development highlighted Europe’s ongoing approach to engaging the country in this realm amid significant challenges.
