"""Maaike Matelski's nuanced and sensitive account of civil society during a key political period in Myanmar helps us better understand the dynamics of public engagement during that complicated decade of 'transition'. It also provides a compelling picture of how these networks and actors have responded to the military coup, and insight into the important role they will play in a future Myanmar.""
