DESCRIPTION:the unstable and conflictual relations between Nay Pyi Taw and
  its citizens on the ‘new frontiers’ have imposed limits and risks not
  just on the lives of these distinct groups on the boundaries but also on 
 the lives of ordinary Burmese people themselves. With just one month left 
 before the election in Myanmar\, we will discuss and invite dialogue on th
 e historic origins of protracted conflicts on the frontiers (at least the 
 recent ones)\, thus allowing us to address some of the very current confli
 cts of the 21st century\, on the Shan\, Kachin\, Rakhine\, Karen\, and Chi
 n frontiers. Again there is the possibility of a multi-cultural federated 
 state.
