The Rohingya Crisis is now in its fifth year with no end in sight. While the international community has supported the displaced Rohingyas in Bangladesh by providing humanitarian assistance, what is needed now is to investigate the short-and long-term implications of the crisis from the host country's perspective. Also, it is imperative to examine the current political situation, which was caused by the Myanmar military coup in February 2021. It has cast a dark shadow on the possibility of a negotiated repatriation. In this volume, scholars from Bangladesh and Canada have reflected upon the security situation, the pandemic's impact on the Rohingyas, inter-group conflict, environmental impact and burden sharing aspects, the informal labor situation, NGO intervention for resilience mapping, and diaspora activities. For both academics and policymakers who work in the fields of conflict resolution and peacebuilding, this book will show how not intervening early in a crisis can have long-term consequences.

Myanmar's security forces have conducted clearance operations in the Rakhine State since August 2017, driving a mass exodus of ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh. In The Rohingya Crisis: Analyses, Responses, and Peacebuilding Avenues, Kawser Ahmed and Helal Mohiuddin address core questions about the conflict and its global and regional significance. Ahmed and Mohiuddin identify the defining characteristics of Rohingya identity, analyze the conflict, depict the geo-economic and geo-political factors contributing to the conflict, and outline peacebuilding avenues available for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and micro-level. This book is recommended for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, peace and conflict studies, political science, and Asian studies.

Since August 2017, the Tatmadaw, Myanmar's security forces, have conducted clearance operations in the Rakhine State, driving a mass exodus of ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh.

Who are the Rohingyas and what are the main issues related to their identity? What are the root causes of the conflict? How has statelessness contributed to this genocide? What are the regional and global security ramifications of the conflict? What are the geo-economic and geo-political factors contributing to conflict? What are the perceptions of the stranded Rohingyas about their desired livelihood? What are the best ways toward safe and secure repatriation? And what are specific peacebuilding avenues available for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and micro-level?
