"This research explores the European Union-Myanmar relations and the European Union as an important partner in Myanmar’s democratic transition process between 2011 and 2020.
Myanmar’s administration began a significant reform process in 2011, launching the first steps toward democratization, peace with the country’s ethnic armed groups and socioeconomic recovery. EU was Myanmar’s transition partner which immediately responded to political situations in the country and offered considerable assistance for democratic and economic reforms as well as peace-building. EU was Myanmar’s fourth largest trade partner and also one of its highest aid donors at that moment. Despite uncertainty in the political relations with the Western Nations, EU suspended the sanctions on Myanmar in April 2012 and eventually removed them in April 2013. Concerning EU policy towards Myanmar is less concrete and progress toward democracy and human rights in the country is still a long way off. The economic cooperation has become the primary element in imposing soft sanctions on Myanmar. EU has been criticizing the Myanmar government under its norms, but it has not stopped helping and supporting civil society. Using a qualitative approach, this research observes the existing data regarding the EU’s approach, policy and aid assistance to Myanmar as well as other bilateral engagements between Myanmar and EU.
