Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Climate-Conflict Nexus
Q: How is the military using climate change politics, and what does that say about legitimacy and international financing?
Mei Thiry's work suggests the regime stages environmental caring to gain legitimacy and access to climate finance, while engaging in resource exploitation and atrocities, which the researchers view as performative rather than genuine environmental governance.
The Climate-Conflict Nexus
Q: What are the aims of the Myanmar Climate Actions, Conflict and Peacebuilding Project (My Climate) and what has been discovered so far?
The project aims to link climate change with conflict dynamics through ethnographic and digital methods, emphasizing local experiences and challenging the idea that climate change alone explains conflict; it finds that violence deepens vulnerabilities to climate impacts and shapes adaptation in complex ways.
Union Advisory Council Announced
Q: Why is China so happy with these military elections?
China sees these elections as a means to create stability in Myanmar, preferring a constitutional administration over military rule, thus institutionalizing a fragmented approach to governance.
Union Advisory Council Announced
Q: So what's your view on the new Union Advisory Council Law and Min Aung Hlaing's ambitions?
Amara believes that the council's formation is a strategy for Min Aung Hlaing to secure his presidency by accommodating military officials and ensuring that military influence remains strong in governance during their transition to a civilian government.
Third Phase of Voting & Arguments at the ICJ
Q: What might happen if the Gambia is successful in its case?
Success could lead to reparations for Rohingyas, including repealing the citizenship law and acknowledging past crimes, contributing to a reset for justice in Myanmar.
