U-M CSEAS MA alumna and current Department of Political Science doctoral candidate, Megan Ryan, co-pens post on the military coup in Myanmar
U-M CSEAS alumna and current political science doctoral candidate Megan Ryan co-authored an article on "The Washington Post's Monkey Cage" regarding the military coup in Myanmar. Ryan writes, "Democracy faces various threats around the world.

Here’s what you need to know."
