The 2008 constitution of Burma (or Myanmar) ostensibly protects religious freedom, yet Buddhism has always had a special position. Research on religion in general, much less religious freedom specifically, has long been limited due to military rule since 1962. Fortunately, the situation for scholarly inquiry since the 2010 elections has begun to change. Burma Studies should take advantage of new openings to research the religious freedom dimensions of four key topical areas: (1) political interpretations and uses of Buddhist ideas, discourse, and practices; (2) the phenomenon of socially and politically engaged Buddhist monks; (3) Buddhist-Muslim conflict; and (4) Buddhist-Christian conflict
