This background paper provides an overview of the ongoing conflict between the military junta and opposition forces in Myanmar following the 2021 coup. We also  consider the major domestic, regional, and international approaches to the conflict, and analyse the potential entry points for external actors to assist a more peaceful resolution to the conflict. Our findings are aimed at an informed public audience, including policymakers, practitioners and students.
