One year ago this month, Myanmar’s fledgling democracy was struck down by a military coup which unseated the civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD).

We discuss the state of play with Dr James Gomez, Regional Director of the Asia Center. Image credit: EPA-EFE
