Despite extensive criticism of this Constitution  for its emphasis on the role of the military, much progress has been  made towards constitutional government and law reform. With the election of the opposition NLD to government in the general election of November 2015 and the presidential electoral college election of March 2016,now is the time to consider the Constitution, and prospects and needs for constitutional change as Myanmar moves towards democracy and the rule of law.\u003cbr\u003eMuch has been made of the Constitution's rigidity,  which is seen as an obstacle to reform and inconsistent with embracing the rule of law, human rights  and multi-party democracy, especially with a rapidly transforming state and society. Nonetheless, the Constitution is also seen as  having potential to be a very positive force for reform.\u003cbr\u003eMany issues arise now for constitutionalism and constitutional change: presidency; federalism and territorial governance; the status of  minorities and freedom of religion; civil liberties in what is described  as a 'discipline-flourishing democracy'; the courts, justice and the  rule of law; the electoral system; and many more. This book is an  attempt to gauge the extent and potential for the entrenchment of  constitutionalism in Myanmar in a rapidly changing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44226019754239,"sku":"9781509929771","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_96d2ba76-5e23-4e84-8ce7-3a55b3b658f5.jpg?v=1706169263","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781509929771","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
