CERDA DUENAS, Carlos. Derechos humanos y la democracia en Myanmar: tareas inacabadas y riesgos de reversión. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.21, pp.63-86. ISSN 1870-3569.

This article seeks to analyze, beyond the restrictions or institutional incentives, the conditions. This article analyses important pending issues regarding democracy and human rights in Myanmar. The country has recently and unquestionably experienced a transformation that has reinstated it as an important Southeast Asian actor. Its prominence arises from its geopolitical and geostrategic importance, however, Myanmar had been overlooked because of the military regime that tyrannically ruled from 1962 to 2011, voiding any democratic exercise and systematically violating human rights. Although efforts towards democratic normality and to reincorporate the country to international stage are evident, they are not sufficient and not addressing them could lead to a new crisis in a country that some analysts say is called to be the new "tiger" of the region.

Keywords : Myanmar; democracy; human rights; geopolitics.
