metadata.value: Due to the existence of two factions in the Myanmar elite in the country during the colonial and
  post-colonial periods of Myanmar history a rivalry between modernist and conservative groups in the
  national elite emerged leading to serious external and internal political conflicts. Local modernists,
  associated with the British colonial tradition, and conservative forces, appealing to the pre-colonial
  period in the history of Myanmar, alternating in power, have offered their solutions to the pressing
  problems facing the country. However, practice has shown that the predominance in the political life
  of Myanmar one of a wing of the ruling elite is able to effectively stop many of the important tactical
  problems facing the society. This in the strategic perspective sets the basis for serious political
  instability affecting the interests of the national elite as a whole. The convergence of modernist and
  conservative wings of the Myanmar elite after the historic elections in 2015 gradually eliminates the
  fundamental defect of the local political system and opens up new prospects for development. Refs 38.
