This work was produced and distributed ahead of the May 2017 national dialog process of Myanmar’s peace process. Based on international comparative evidence drawn from the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies Peace Accords Matrix, the animation addressed contemporary peacemaking challenges in Myanmar. It presents evidence for a peacemaking strategy based on genuine political compromise rather than military coercion, and shows how faithful implementation of agreements builds trust between conflict parties, brings in spoilers, and generates economic and social benefits that justify the initial economic and political costs of peacemaking.
