Description
Résumé:The military coup in Myanmar on February 1, 2021 ended semi-civilian rule (2011–2021), bringing the country once again under direct military rule. Through a multi-methodological approach—analyzing written statements, digital data, and qualitative interviews—this article explores how multiple religious actors have responded to the coup. Our findings show that compared to previous uprisings, the 2021 anti-coup protests were characterized by global internet culture, interreligious solidarity, and new visions for a plural and democratic Myanmar. Behind the seemingly spontaneous street protests were also religious institutions and networks, indicating long-term pro-democracy education, activism, and networking within different religious fields.
