The Moral Democracy. The Political Thought of Aung San Suu Kyi

Michał Lubina's comprehensive examination of Aung San Suu Kyi offers a fresh perspective on one of Burma's most polarizing figures. In this enlightening work, Lubina delves into the political formation and ideals of Aung San Suu Kyi, unraveling the intricacies of her approach to governance. This book is essential for those seeking to grasp the mindset of a leader whose actions have both inspired and confounded global audiences.

Recognized in Poland for his portrayal of Suu Kyi as a pragmatic politician more than a mere human rights advocate, Lubina brings his insights to an international platform. His exploration, reminiscent of Mahbubani's "Can Asians Think?", unveils the intellectual and philosophical roots of Myanmar through Suu Kyi's political journey. By framing her as a thinker and theoretician, readers are invited to view Suu Kyi from a novel vantage point, emphasizing the originality and depth of Lubina's research.

This analytical masterpiece stands out for its well-structured examination, supported by rich research, interviews, and Lubina's own observations. His work is pioneering within the realm of Burmese studies, as highlighted by Prof. Agnieszka Kuszewska of Jagiellonian University. Through a thorough dissection of Suu Kyi's political ideologies and influences, Lubina constructs a narrative that provides a deeper understanding of both her strengths and vulnerabilities in the context of Burma's past and present policymaking.
