The purpose of this essay is going to be about understanding how the transition in Myanmar happened in 2015, when the democratic party and Aung San Suu Kyi won the general election and assumed power. And understanding why the democratic ideology didn’t take root during the period 2015 - 2021 when the democratic party and Aung San Suu Kyi led the country. By applying Samuel P. Huntington’s theory about political transitions and problems that hinder political evolution the essay is looking to find answers to the questions of the essay. The essay analyses the history of the political situation in Myanmar and what the military's role in Myanmar is to evaluate and reach a conclusion. The essay concludes that Myanmar's political situation is complicated, and that the transition made in 2015 was probably not only made possible because of the democrats and Aung San Suu Kyi’s work. The reason that democracy didn’t take root is because of several problems that still exist today and were not solved during the period between 2015 - 2021.
