Myanmar consensus

Members table - more detail

Would suggest that three additional columns -- which identify characteristics that sharply influence the nation's politics and behavior in ASEAN -- be added to the "Members" table, for each ASEAN country:

  • Government (e.g.: simple: "democractic"/"authoritarian" or more official "democratic republic" / "monarchy" / "military junta", etc.) The type of government has great impact on the official positions of these nations on numerous issues facing ASEAN. (See the article's section on Myanmar crisis for examples).
  • Dominant Religions (e.g: "Muslim 60%, Buddhist 20%, Christian 5%") (or simply note the most prevalent religion, if in a very clear overwhelming majority, such as: "Thailand - Buddhist") The dominant religion in each country (and most ASEAN members, each, have one clearly dominant religion) also has great impact on the official positions of these nations on numerous issues facing ASEAN. (See the article's section on the Myanmar crisis for examples).
  • Main Languages (e.g.: "English 90%, Tagalog 20%, Spanish 10%") (total may exceed 100%, due to bi-lingual/multilingual individuals) (Language is a key indicator of cultural background, natural associations and likely academic, media and commercial affiliations with other specific countries in ASEAN. For instance, French identifies the natural association of former French Indo-China colonies Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam; English identifies the natural associations between former British colonies, now ASEAN members/observers Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh -- and their unusually close ties to the United Kingdom and Anglophone community globally)
