The Rohingya Crisis: A Moral, Ethnographic, and Policy Assessment
No full textThis book provides a history of the ethnic persecution of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and their disputed ethnic and
national identity. It focuses on how the crisis has morphed into a geopolitical encounter among Bangladesh, China,
India, and Myanmar. It further explores the moral, ethnographic, and public policy issues in the humanitarian
response to the crisis of the Rohingya people. The volume analyzes the question of citizenship for the Rohingyas by
analyzing historical documents and interviews which chronicle the status and identity of the community and their past
involvement in the government and politics of Myanmar. The authors focus specifically on the changing geopolitical
context of state formation in South Asia and the tense relationships between Myanmar and its neighbours -
Bangladesh, China, and India. The book examines the alliances and disputes in the South and Southeast Asia region,
which are predicated on economic and strategic gains, and their impact on the Rohingya crisis. It also looks at the
failure of bilateral and multilateral negotiations among these countries to adequately address or alleviate the plight of
the stateless Rohingyas. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international studies,
peace, human rights and conflict studies, sociology, ethnic studies, border studies, migration and diaspora studies,
discrimination and exclusion studies, public policy, and Asian Studies. It will also be useful for professionals working
in the media, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), think tanks, and policy makers, as well as general readers
interested in the history of the persecution of the Rohingya people. © 2021 South Asian Institute of Policy and

States. Once Israel declared its independence, President Truman of the
United States was the first nation to grant de facto recognition to the new
Jewish State 11 minutes after the proclamation. Since then, U.S. has offered
undisputed assistance to Israel in security, economy and other financial
aspects. On the other hand, such action did not speak well with Palestine
claims to the disputed territory. Ironically, U.S. unilateral acclaimed
mediator role for the two sides did not only contribute to the crises but
further reflect bias and favor Israel course, while the current unilateral
declaration of Jerusalem as a capital of Israel and the U.S. embassy
relocation has pour more controversy to the future state of the Palestine.
Simultaneously, U.S. has been generous to provide aids and assistances to
several Muslim states. Having played such double standard, could U.S.
remains the sole mediator between Israel and Palestine in resolving their
disputes? The research offered overview of the logic behind the recognition
of Jerusalem as a new capital for U.S embassy. The paper also examined the
future of the two state solutions and whether the current situation will pave
way for new players in the negotiation. It finally analyzed the proposed
future solution of the conflicts
