In this new episode Vincent Gabriel welcomes Van Tran, postdoctoral researcher at the Brussel School of Governance within the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her research focuses on contentious politics and digital cultures under authoritarianism in the contexts of Myanmar and Asia.

Together, they study the politics and geopolitics of Myanmar. They begin by providing a sociological, historical and geographical context for a country that is little known in Europe. They take a closer look at the role of the army in national politics and study in detail the figure of Aung San Suu Kyi. It concludes with an overview of Myanmar's foreign policy, identifying the regime's main international allies.

The EU in the Volatile Indo-Pacific Region’s main goal is to raise awareness of the strategic, political, and economic significance of the volatile Indo-Pacific region for Europe and for a values-based European approach towards this region : https://www.euvip-project.com/.
