Internal displacement in Burma stems from development failures and state-consolidation efforts, not just violence. Addressing this requires moving beyond aid to focus on prevention and protection for displaced populations.

Area of Science:

  • Socio-political science
  • Humanitarian studies
  • Conflict resolution

Background:

  • Internal displacement in Burma is a persistent issue, driven by various factors beyond direct violence.
  • Misguided social and economic development initiatives significantly contribute to population displacement.
  • State-consolidation efforts, including assimilation and cease-fire negotiations, have led to widespread civilian uprooting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the multifaceted causes of internal displacement in Burma.
  • To examine the challenges of humanitarian access and assistance to displaced populations.
  • To evaluate current international approaches to displacement and identify gaps in prevention and protection.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of existing information on internal displacement in Burma.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of socio-economic development policies and state-consolidation strategies.
  • Assessment of humanitarian access limitations and assistance modalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Displacement is linked to flawed development and state-building, creating social turmoil and impunity.
    • Humanitarian access to internally displaced persons (IDPs) is severely restricted, with aid often limited to accessible groups.
    • International responses have primarily focused on containment and general development, with limited engagement in prevention or protection.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective solutions for internal displacement in Burma must address root causes beyond immediate aid.
    • Enhanced humanitarian access and protection mechanisms are critical for IDP welfare.
    • A shift towards proactive prevention strategies is necessary to mitigate future displacement.
