    Myanmar’s inter-ethnic disputes undermine an otherwise favorable backdrop for a peaceful democratic transition, write Rachel Blomquist and Richard Cincotta in New Security Beat’s most read story last month. Their analysis was published in April 2016, but it presciently foreshadows the current crisis. Through their multi-dimensional assessment of the demographic tension in Myanmar, the authors show that “[t]he path to democracy seems to cut directly through the Rohingya issue.”

    Also popular last month: turning toxic waste into green energy in Chinese cities, understanding different perspectives on loss and damage, flooding in Bangladesh, and U.S. military leaders on the need to understand climate change.
