Abstract
An upsurge of peaceful protest led by Buddhist monks brought hopes of greater democracy in military-ruled Myanmar. However, the regime again resorted to violence to suppress the protests, leaving a bleak outlook for political progress. International protests and sanctions are unlikely to bring a significant change of course from the regime, which still has important economic ties with China, India and some Southeast Asian states.
