Myanmar is going through an "interregnum," a period where the legitimacy and cohesion of the existing political system have broken down, but a new, universally agreed-upon future political system has not yet emerged, according to Chayan Vaddhanaphuti, a scholar from Chiang Mai University in Thailand. In a discussion with Insight Myanmar Podcast, Chayan, a professor at Chiang Mai University (CMU) and director of the Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD), said, "We believe that discussions are needed among people from various backgrounds." According to him, the current situation in Myanmar highlights not only political and humanitarian challenges but also ideological and academic ones. RCSD is a platform striving to discuss and formulate future political thought and socio-political frameworks for Myanmar. Chayan's main analysis is that Myanmar is in an interregnum. This is a period when the legitimacy and cohesion of the old political system have broken down, but a new system that can replace it has not yet been built with broad consensus. This is also a time of great ideological uncertainty. Basic questions such as "What is national identity? ", "How to build a federal system?
