On Think Tanks has produced a new three-part podcast series of OTT Talks: Think Tanks in a Changing Myanmar, as part of a collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Knowledge for Democracy Myanmar (K4DM) initiative.
Co-hosted by Enrique Mendizabal and Samar Verma, the series examines how Myanmar’s think tank and policy research ecosystem has evolved in the wake of the 2021 political crisis — from the challenges of constrained dialogue and researcher displacement, to the rise of diaspora research networks and the use of digital platforms to amplify marginalised voices.
