Abstract

Myanmar was successful in increasing its sustainable development index during the three years period from 2018 to 2020. However, the index began to decline since 2021. This study aims to analyze both the success factors and obstacles for sustainable development in Myanmar. Using the search terms 'Myanmar' and 'sustainability', online news items were collected from January 2018 to December 2023 and were examined through text network analysis. The study identified the following success factors that contribute to sustainable development in Myanmar: foreign investments, private companies' participation in the effort, human resource development projects, and the use of new and renewable energy. The inhibition factors for the development efforts identified were: government's coercive/restrictive policies, labor rights violations, and forest degradation. The findings of this study provide useful insights for understanding the current status of sustainability in Myanmar from academic and practical perspectives. The results also present benchmarking information for policy-makers in Myanmar and other similar developing countries that are searching for strategic directions in their sustainable development efforts.

본 연구는 미얀마의 지속가능발전 지수는 2018년부터 2020까지 3년간 증가하였지만, 2021년부터는 지속가능발전 지수가 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 미얀마의 지속가능발전 성공 요인과 저해(방해) 요인을 분석하고자한다. 2018년 1월부터 2023년 12월까지 '미얀마'와 '지속가능성'이라는 키워드를 활용하여 뉴스 데이터를 수집하였다. 텍스트 네트워크 분석을 통해 미얀마의 지속가능발전에 대한 성공요인(예, 해외 투자 유치, 민간 기업의 참여노력, "인적자원 개발 프로젝트, 신재생 에너지 활용 등') 및 저해요인(예, 정부의 강압적 정책, 노동권 침해, 삼림훼손 등)이 도출되었다. 본 연구 결과는 미얀마의 지속가능성에 대한 현황을 학문적 실무적 관점에서 이해하는 데 활용될 수 있으며, 국가적 차원에서 지속가능발전 실천을 위한 방향을 수립하고자 할 때 정책 입안자 및 유사 국가에서 벤치마킹 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
