The lecture especially focuses on\u00a0Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) organized during Myanmar&#8217;s military rule for mass mobilization after 1988.\u00a0The military regime achieved its mobilization capacity by establishing USDA in 1993. The military regime was in need of such a capacity for the transition to\u00a0disciplined-flourishing democracy. Indeed, it held several pro-government mass rallies across the country under the theme of supporting the regime&#8217;s policies, such as convening the National Convention for writing a new constitution, anti-subversion law, and seven steps roadmap to democracy. Later, the members of the association joined as representatives in the constitution-writing process. Furthermore, the organization transformed itself from a patron organization into a political party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), before the 2010 general election. The mass mobilization by the military regime has provided a safe environment in the post-authoritarian society.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: April 14th, Thursday, 2022 15:00 &#8211; 16:30 Online via Zoom Speaker: Kihong Mun (Senior Researcher, Institute for Global and Area Studies, PKNU) This lecture focuses on the mass mobilization of military rule in Myanmar for the purpose of securing a popular basis for support.
