Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, kept under house arrest by the government for decades, has been elected into Parliament. Pro-democracy activists cheer her new role in government, but worry about the role she’ll be able to play in a Parliament dominated by the military-backed ruling party.

Guests:

Robert Lieberman, professor of physics at Cornell University and filmmaker of "They Call it Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain"

Nyunt Than, chair and founder of the Burmese American Democratic Alliance

Joshua Kurlantzick, fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations

Anthony Kuhn, foreign correspondent for NPR
