ABSTRACT
Suu Kyi in governance has suffered more failures than scored gains, retained domestic supporters and disappointed foreign fans. She has not changed much in Myanmar. Her rule has not been a success; on the other hand, it has not been a disaster. Most importantly, she has survived in power and likely will remain at the helm. If Suu Kyi wins the 2020 elections – and she is likely to – her administration should be better by the very fact of gained experience. Yet a breakthrough in Myanmar's fate is impossible. Not only because the international circumstances are not favourable but, more importantly, because Suu Kyi is a tactician, not a strategist. She has mastered the very Burmese feature of ad hoc actions to perfection. However, she lacks long-term policy strategy: she does not have a developmental vision.
