Constitutional change in authoritarian regimes: the case of Myanmar

这个项目旨在了解专制政权下宪法如何以及为什么会发生变化。​基于严格的定性方法，包括档案研究和深度访谈，本项目希望调查为什么缅甸宪法既是民主改革的制约因素，又是推动因素。这个及时的社会法律项目旨在告知澳大利亚与缅甸的政治、经济和文化接触，缅甸是东南亚的战略邻国和外国投资的新市场。

This project aims to understand how and why constitutions change in authoritarian regimes. After decades of authoritarian rule, there is lively public debate about formal amendment of the Myanmar constitution. Based on rigorous qualitative methods including archival research and in-depth interviews, this project expects to investigate why Myanmar's Constitution is both a constraint and an enabler of democratic reform. This timely socio-legal project seeks to inform Australia’s political, economic and cultural engagement with Myanmar as a strategic neighbour in south-east Asia and a new market for foreign investment.
