Biography
Michał Lubina is Associate Professor of Political Science at Jagiellonian University, Poland. He is the author of seven books, including The Moral Democracy: The Political Thought of Aung San Suu Kyi (2019) and Russia and China: A Political Marriage of Convenience - Stable and Successful (2017).
"Given the large number of biographies on Aung San Suu Kyi, the first question that arises is whether Michał Lubina’s biography of the controversial politician has anything new to contribute. The answer in brief is yes. □He uses his detailed knowledge of Myanmar’s history, culture, and religion to give a comprehensive interpretation of Aung San Suu Kyi’s politics in the context of the country’s strained relationship with the West, especially in recent years [...] this book opens up new areas for research, which is more than most books achieve."
