Podcast: Myanmar’s Disciplined Democracy and the 2020 Elections: A Discussion with Dr. Roger Lee Huang

Myanmar is scheduled to hold general elections in November 2020. While the country has experienced political liberalization since 2011, the latest Freedom House Report ranked Myanmar as “not free.” Dr. Roger Lee Huang talks with Dr. Natali Pearson about Myanmar's ongoing regime transition, arguing that the country’s "disciplined democracy" contains features of democratic politics, but at its core remains authoritarian.

Dr. Roger Lee Huang is Lecturer in Political Violence with the Department of Security Studies & Criminology at Macquarie University. He recently published The Paradox of Myanmar's Regime Change with Routledge.
