“…In addition, it could counteract prevailing masculinity in positions of authority, which may curb CRSV related to the constructs of masculinity described above 9 21. Interestingly, similar approaches have been previously been instated on a local basis, without external political intervention, in the emergence of women’s political movements in response to CRSV in Colombia and Myanmar 32 33…”

Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is a concerning yet prevalent feature of historical and current conflict. The term encompasses any form of sexual violence associated with conflict, including rape, sexual assault and forced marriage or prostitution. Acts of CRSV have been perpetrated by both military personnel and civilians against men, women and children. The aetiology of CRSV is complex and unique to each conflict and circumstance. It may arise as a deliberate tactic of war or as opportunistic criminal acts at times of the relative lawlessness resulting from conflict. CRSV can also be related to certain sociocultural attitudes surrounding conflict.CRSV can result in profound medical, psychological and social sequelae for victims and management requires a holistic approach to address these. The global political response to CRSV has been gaining momentum in recent decades. Although the practical reaction to political stances has been limited at times, some consistent messages have arisen from collaborative work between the United Nations and other multinational bodies. Advances have also been made in the judicial response to CRSV.Due to the widespread nature of the issue, there is the potential for the exposure of Defence Medical Services (DMS) personnel to CRSV. This may occur while operating in a conflict zone or when participating in humanitarian operations. DMS personnel should maintain an awareness of the prevalence of CRSV and of any current political measures in place to tackle it. When appropriate, CRSV should feature in operational medical planning and pre-deployment training to assist personnel in managing any cases they encounter.

“…Parental support and peer networks (Chandra-Mouli et al 2015, Faxon et al 2015, along with safe spaces for women, are important in giving women agency and safety from violence (Eduards 2002). Again, forest authorities have an important role to play: for example, in providing training within forest departments, helping to provide safe spaces for women and spaces for their participation in decision-making on their own terms.…”

Key Points• Forestry cannot be thought of in isolation from its relations with other sectors and other parts of people's lives -for both the health of the forests and the well-being of forest peoples.• Forest governance and everyday management are upheld by a superstructure of gendered forest relations -invisible to mainstream forestry -that often disadvantages women as a social group.• Well-intentioned gender programmes can backfire, causing adverse effects on forests and forest peoples, if the efforts are not cognisant of context and power relations.

“…The diversity of Myanmar in terms of ethnicity and ecology also means that different systems of land tenure and use have developed over time (SiuSue Mark 2016). Along with displacements due to war and development exploitation, land conflict is one of the most pressing political issues, and intimately connected to the various conflicts and prospects for peace (Faxon et al 2015). The development of a National Land Use Policy (NLUP) was an attempt to centralize and harmonize the question of land into one legal framework.…”

Myanmar faces enormous development challenges in the midst of a rapidly changing and uncertain landscape both in terms of politics and international aid. This article probes into the intertwined nature of political development and the politics of development, drawing upon existing literature and contributions of this special issue. It critically analyzes the mismatch between the long-term societal change processes that Myanmar faces, on the one hand, and the instability of domestic politics and international development, on the other. It is argued that the prospects for development in Myanmar need to be assessed in a context of constant interaction between political development and the politics of development. Keywords Myanmar • Development • Politics • Aid • Democracy • Political development • Politics of development Résumé Le Myanmar s'affronte à des énormes défis de développement parmi un panorama politique et d'aide international très incertain et qui change très vite. Cet article sonde la nature étroitement mêlée des développements politiques et des politiques du développement, s'appuyant sur la littérature existante et sur les contributions incluses dans cette édition spéciale. On analyse de façon critique le décalage entre, d'un côté, les processus à longue durée d'adaptation sociale qui affronte le Myanmar ; et de l'autre côté, l'instabilité des politiques domestiques et du développement internationale. On soutient que les perspectives de développement au Myanmar doivent être évalués dans le contexte de l'interaction pérenne entre le développement politique et la politique du développement.
