Description
As a multi-ethnic country, the formation of a federal state has long been the vision of all ethnic groups in Myanmar since the days of struggles for independence. However, it has been unsuccessful so far. Successive Tatmadaw governments thought that federalism would lead to the disunification of the country. On the other hand, armed ethnic groups are focused on self-rule and building a federal army rather than forming a federal Myanmar. As for Myanmar, if it wishes to develop and prosper peacefully along with the other countries of the world, it must strive to introduce a federal government. However, as there are various types of federalism practiced throughout the world, ethnic groups have difficulty in finding the one that suits Myanmar and knowing whether Myanmar can build said system successfully. The other question is to what extent the NLD government has accomplished the goal of building a federal democratic state. In this paper, the normative theory is used to discuss concepts such as federalism and democracy. Federal systems are discussed in general and suggestions for the most suitable federal form for Myanmar as well as the process of building federal democracy are also argued. This is a qualitative research paper stressing on archival research that provides an insight into why the holding-together-federalism would be suitable for the present situation of Myanmar and why the central government should be conferred enough authority to deal with the complicated issues of the modern world. The paper concludes that while the NLD government is still struggling to implement its dream of a federal democratic state, the task of building a democratic federal state is not a short-term process but a long-term one that requires patient compromises and negotiations among various ethnic groups of Myanmar.
