Abstract

ABSTRACT In Myanmar, progress toward achieving the SustainableDevelopment Goals is severely constrained by protracted conflictand widespread internal displacement. This article exploresthe determinants of contact between people who are internallydisplaced and those who are not, as well as participation incommunity-level peacebuilding initiatives, among people livingin conflict affected communities in Kachin and northern Shanstates. We root our work in a discussion of the current andhistorical context of the conflict in Myanmar in which tensionsbetween different displacement groups are long lasting, aprogram contributing to peace, security, stability, and sustainabledevelopment in Myanmar, and a brief review of contact theory.Research for this piece was completed prior to the military coupin Myanmar in February 2021. Although the analysis does notreflect the coup or its after-effects, the findings are still relevant fordevelopment, humanitarian relief, and peacebuilding projects.
跨界接触:缅甸受冲突影响社区群体间积极互动的决定因素
在缅甸,长期冲突和广泛的国内流离失所严重制约了实现可持续发展目标的进展。本文探讨了生活在克钦邦和掸邦北部受冲突影响社区的人们之间,国内流离失所者和非流离失所者之间接触的决定因素,以及参与社区一级的和平建设倡议。我们的工作植根于对缅甸冲突的当前和历史背景的讨论,其中不同流离失所群体之间的紧张局势长期持续,一个有助于缅甸和平,安全,稳定和可持续发展的项目,以及对接触理论的简要回顾。这项研究是在2021年2月缅甸军事政变之前完成的。尽管该分析没有反映政变及其后果,但其发现仍然与发展、人道主义救济和建设和平项目有关。
