The civil war in the Islamic Southern Philippines is one of the longest-lasting conflicts in Southeast Asia.This book dates back to a workshop on that conflict at the Department of Political Science of the University of Gottingen, Germany. The particular interest in the Moro conflict in Gottingen is due to the fact that a family from that city was among those tourists who were kidnapped in Sipadan (Malaysia) by the Abu Sayyaf group in spring 2000 and held hostage on the island of Jolo (Sulu) for almost half a year. Although the geographical and cultural backgrounds of most of the contributors to this volume differ from the parties involved in the conflict, the editors hope that this volume offers adequate views, theoretical approaches, and methodologies, which prove helpful in understanding and eventually ameliorating the conditions of the people living in "Moro land".
"This book is focused on three principal roots of the conflict: Muslim problem, Mindanao problem, and misunderstanding. The proposition is: The Mindanao conflict has remained unsolved because it has been misunderstood and mired in misunderstanding"--P. xvii.
These essays are conveniently arranged from general to specific issues of the Mindanao conflict and the central relevance of the Muslim South to the problem.
Rethinking the Bangsamoro Perspective is about the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro between the Philippine government and MILF. The author addresses the problems in the framework and suggests solutions that can help eradicate the crisis in Mindanao. He calls for equality and unity among the 13 distinct Muslim communities in Mindanao and how the government can integrate these 13 distinct Muslim communities in our nation's law.
Across more than four decades, the conflict between the national government and Muslim liberation forces in the southern Philippines has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Two landmark agreements under the presidency of Benigno S Aquino III — the first in 2012 and the second in 2014 — raised high hopes that peace might finally be on the way. But the peace process stalled, and has yet to regain momentum, after a botched counterterrorism operation in early 2015.This volume provides both in-depth examination of the latest stage of a still-ongoing peace process as well as richly textured analysis of the historical, political, and economic context underlying one of the most enduring conflicts in the world. It is thus an extremely important foundational resource in the continuing quest for peace and prosperity in Mindanao.
