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.

Reviews
This is a must-read book for those seeking to understand the complexity of the Rohingya crisis and its implications for Bangladesh... A very useful work that should be of interest to all in refugee studies globally. -- Mohammad Zaman, National Research Center for Resettlement, Hohai University
The persistent suffering of the Rohingya people has been poorly understood by the international community and is often dominated by biased competing narratives. This study is a welcome, digestible analysis in an appropriately multidisciplinary treatment. Those seeking durable solutions will benefit from this concise contribution. -- John Packer, University of Ottawa
