Elections in Burma: Don’t Rush to Judgment

March 12, 2010

The military junta that has ruled Burma since 1988 is publishing a set of five laws this week that aim to govern the elections at the national and regional levels—to take place most likely in the last quarter of this year.

The last nation-wide election in Burma was held in 1990 and was won by a landslide by the National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi. The military junta refused to accept the results of the election, and Aung San Suu Kyi has spent most of the time since then under house arrest. Meanwhile, economic and political refugees from Burma have flooded into Thailand and other nearby countries, and the country has sunk to rank among the lowest in the world on most social and economic indicators.

None of the other 43 American presidents have had this kind of exposure to a non-Western country.

One of the president’s political objectives for this trip is to raise Indonesia’s global profile.
