ISP-Myanmar has conducted an assessment of lawmakers’ understanding of federal and democratic principles in Myanmar. The main research question is “How effective are the publications produced by local and international organizations on decentralization and federal state building processes for legislators?”
The sub-questions are as follows:
• What are the key issues and recommendations highlighted by these reports in terms of decentralization and building a federal state?
• Are reports by local and international organizations on decentralization and federal principles applicable for legislators? If not, what is missing?
• Which factors, conditions or context make legislators more inclined to utilize these reports or publications?
