Myanmar (also known as Burma), is a country of about 58 million people, locating at the crossroads of South and Southeast Asia, comprise of numerous different ethnic that possess a long and unique history in the international world. Myanmar is well known with its popular military regime which lasted for more than 50 years. The country was ruled by a military junta from the year of 1962 until 2011, which suppressed almost all dissent and wielded absolute power in the face of international condemnation and sanctions. In 1991, European Union for the first time had imposed sanction condemning the refusal of State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to accept the results of the 1990 elections. The reluctance of the military government to give the legitimate power to the elected civilian had led to a long imposition of sanction regime by European Union toward Myanmar which is as long as 21 years. The 21-year sanction regime was characterized by at least three different phases in which sanctions responded to different political needs. During the first phase, sanctions were imposed by EU in order to criticize the unlawful change of government. The reluctance of SPDC to accept the victory of the opposition party, National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aug San Suu Kyi and the hijack of power by the military from the legitimate victory had pull an attention of EU government to imposed sanction toward Myanmar. These sanctions send signals to international community that any country that abuses power and undermined the principle of democracy will be opposed by international community. In order to suppress and weaken the military government, EU had imposed sanction by stopping non-humanitarian aid, implementing an arms embargo and withdrawing the military staff of embassies. Also, the death of the honorary consul of several European nations, James Leander Nichols, during detention, due to the charge of having unauthorized use of fax machines led the binding of the sanction regime under the law in 1996.In response, the EU imposed a travel ban on the individuals responsible for the death of the consul, on the authorities blocking the democratic transition in the country and on those supporting the regime. Later decisions extended the measures to the members of the military junta, their relatives and their supporters. By 2007, the list included 386 individuals and entities. The emergence of the second phase of EU sanction started in 2007 where more stringent sanctions were imposed by EU toward Myanmar. These decisions were made upon the repression of the military government toward the protester during the Saffron Revolution. The Saffron Revolution started when the State Peace and Development Council, the current ruling leadership of Burma, removed all fuel subsidies in the country without giving any warning on August 15, 2007. Such actions caused the prices of diesel and petrol to rise by 66%, while the price of natural gas rose by 500%, causing an explosion of commodities price such as food and transportation. The public protest that consists of thousands of monks, students, activist and other civilian were treated violently by the military government. The violence used convinced the EU to extend the restrictive measures to the trade of goods, from which the leaders of the junta and its supporters allegedly benefitted (e.g. timber, gold, tin, iron, copper, etc) The unexpected decision of The Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) to make a liberal reform in 2010 mark a new phase of EU sanctions. In this phase EU had display a new feature of EU sanction. As USDP intend to open the economy and return the civilian parties, EU had made decision to lift sanction gradually which shown it support on Myanmar effort in its transition toward democracy. The conduct of general election in 2012 which give the victory to the NLD (43 out of 45 seats) led to suspension of all sanctions with an exemption of arm embargo. The suspensions of the sanction create a new kind of relations between EU and Myanmar. EU had resumed it trade relations with Myanmar and seek to increase the investment in Myanmar markets. Analysis of EU Sanction on Burma/ Myanmar Assessing the effectiveness of EU sanctions would be inadequate if the evaluations are made only by observing the changes in behavior of the targeted group. It is a necessity to find an appropriate tool in order to analyze the effectiveness of the sanction imposed toward the targeted groups. Francesco Giumelli and Paul Ivan had brilliantly come out with a framework to assess the effectiveness of the sanctions. Based on both writers, it is a must to look into a four step process of assessment in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the sanctions. A four step process of the evaluations include; the role of sanction in an overall foreign policy strategy, the purpose and goals of the policy in terms of coercing, constraining and signaling, the impact of sanctions and the cost
