Abstract
This paper identifies and explores federal arrangements for the accommodation
of national minorities that can be considered when designing a federal system for
a multinational or multiethnic country like Burma/Myanmar. It also looks at the
political history of Burma/Myanmar and examines the constitutional recognition of
ethnic minorities in the country’s 2008 Constitution. Finally, the paper provides some
recommendations for designing special arrangements for the accommodation of
national minorities in Burma/Myanmar.
