This book analyses what Myanmar's struggle for democracy has signified to Burmese activists and democratic leaders, and to their international allies. In doing so, it explores how understanding contested meanings of democracy helps make sense of the country's tortuous path since Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won historic elections in 2015. Using Burmese and English language sources, Narrating Democracy in Myanmar reveals how the country's ongoing struggles for democracy exist not only in opposition to Burmese military elites, but also within networks of local activists and democratic leaders, and international aid workers.

For the past half century, military dictatorship has left Burma (Myanmar), dubbed the Land of a Thousand Pagodas, practically completely isolated from the outside world. In addition to Buddhism, the predominant religion, this is also one of the reasons why its people have remained simple, open-hearted, and hospitable. There are more than 135 different ethnic groups living in Burma. Because of the country’s diverse natural resources, it already attracted the attention of the global superpowers in the past, manifested in sixty years of British colonialism. It continues to be of interest today, especially because of its extensive supplies of natural gas, oil, gems, precious and rare metals, and valuable teakwood.Exceptionally picturesque Burma is also characterized by great biodiversity. The country is renowned for its elephants, many of which have been tamed. Rare white (albino) elephants are the most admired.The recommended ten-day tour first takes you to Burma’s largest city, Yangon, after which you continue your trip across the Irrawaddy Valley to the city of Bagan with its thousands of temples, and on to the country’s cultural center of Mandalay. Just before that you can climb Mount Popa, a dormant volcano, the mysterious abode of spirits known as the nats. You continue your trip onto the Shan Plateau to enjoy the peaceful flow of life at Lake Inle. If you have enough time, it is also worth visiting one of the seaside resorts. Mjanmar, imenovan Dežela tisočerih pagod, je bil zaradi vojaške diktature dolgo skoraj povsem izoliran od zunanjega sveta, čeprav je že v preteklosti vzbujal zanimanje svetovnih velesil in bil šest desetletij britanska kolonija Burma. Poleg prevladujoče budistične veroizpovedi je tudi to razlog, da so njegovi prebivalci ohranili preprostost, odkritosrčnost in gostoljubnost. V državi živijo pripadniki več kot 135 etničnih skupin, gospodarsko je zanimiva predvsem zaradi izdatnih zalog zemeljskega plina, nafte, dragocenih kamnov, dragih in redkih kovin in dragocene tikovine. Za izjemno slikovito državo je značilna izredna biotska raznovrstnost. Slovi po slonih, mnogo je zdresiranih. Najbolj občudovani so redki beli sloni. Na priporočeni desetdnevni poti se najprej ustavimo v največjem mestu Yangonu, nato potujemo po dolini reke Iravadi do Bagana s tisočerimi templji in naprej do kulturnega središča Mandalaya. Še prej se povzpnemo na speči ognjenik Popa, kjer je skrivnostno prebivališče natov (duhov). Pot nadaljujemo na Šansko planoto, kjer se na jezeru Inle prepustimo mirnemu toku življenja. Če imamo več časa, velja obiskati tudi kako od letovišč na morski obali.
