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. In The
Rohingya Crisis, Kawser Ahmed and Helal Mohiuddin address core
questions about the conflict and its global-regional significance.
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?
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.

Analyses, Responses, and Peacebuilding Avenues, Kawser Ahmed and

available for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and
