Abstract
National security in Myanmar has always been equated with state security by the ruling military junta. However, the drive to protect the state has led to insecurities for its people. This paper argues that a comprehensive human security approach offers the best opportunity to address ethnic grievances, thereby resolving Myanmar’s long-running internal conflict.
