  2. Geographical Location of Burma

  3. Burma’s brief history • Around the 3rd. Century b.C. the people called Mons arrived at the region known, nowadays, as Burma. • A few centuries later the Pyu arrived from Tibet, followed by the Bamars, who established the first Burmese Empire. • Since 1435, the first time an European discovered Burma, until 1886 when the British conquered the country, there were several conflicts, and the country’s power changed hands too often. • During the years of 1886 until 1948 the British ruled Burma making this country part of the commonwealth. • After attaining independence, a democratic republic was implanted until 1962 when the military regime took over, until this day.

  4. NEGOTIATION FRAMEWORK - 5 C’S APPROACH Consultation: At 31 of May of 1989 the military joint decides to promote legislative elections. Contact: The military joint contacts the several parties so that they can choose to participate in the elections. Confrontation: The electoral campaigns begin. For the democratic opposition it turns out difficult to promote them. Conciliation: In 27th May of 1990 the elections took place. Uncontested victory to NLD. Conclusion: Although the NLD party achieved a great victory, at 27th July of 1990 the military joint cancels the election results and institutes martial law, again.

  5. 5 C’s approach - Chronogram Note: The dates regarding the contact and the confrontation are merely speculative

  6. NegotiationProcess – 1990 Elections This game has 2 players: 1st player: NUP (National Unity Party) 2nd player: NLD (National League for Democracy) The used payoff was the number of legislative seats that would be achieved after the elections. The strategies are: NUP proposes elections (P) or doesn’t propose elections (NP) and NLD presents a candidature (C) or doesn’t present a candidature (NC) Source: http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/docs4/1990_multi-party_elections.pdf We identified as the pareto’s optimum the payoff (10, 392) since it’s the one where the profits can’t be improved.

  9. Limitations conclusions • Too much information but lacking accuracy and, in some cases, not being impartial. • The isolation promoted by the military joint in Burma made the access to some information, as dates, places and electoral background somewhat difficult. • Constant manifestations of disagreement against the regime. • China and India support the military joint in Burma because they are dependent of their natural resources. • The political, social and economical evolution of the country tend to constantly regress.
