Using Sarangani Bay as a research site, the book zones in on the lives of the Muslim Sinamas and the Christianized indigenous B'laans as they navigate the effects of the ongoing turmoil in the Bangsamoro region in Muslim Mindanao?a multi-faceted conflict involving numerous armed groups, as well as clans, criminal gangs and political elites. This work considers the factors affecting the Muslim Moro people, who have long been struggling for their right to self-determination. The conflict in the Moro areas has evolved over the past five decades from an ethnonationalist struggle between an aggrieved minority and a thorny issue for the central government: a highly fragmented conflict with multiple overlapping causes of violence. The book provides a framework for understanding the ethnic separatism in the case of the southern part of the country, framed by the concept of ethnic boundaries. Providing an excellent blend of theory and empirical evidence, the author confronts how ethno-religious divisions adversely impact the quality of life and unpacks how these divisions challenge multiculturalist policies. Weaving together multiple branches of the social sciences, this book is of interest to policymakers, researchers and students interested in international relations and political science, Asian studies, ethnic studies, Philippines? history, sociology and anthropology. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 606 $aAsia?Politics and government 606 $aPeace 606 $aEthnicity 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAsian Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aEthnicity Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22180 606 $aDevelopment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000 606 $aSocial Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030 615 0$aAsia?Politics and government. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aEthnicity. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aEthnicity Studies. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aSocial Anthropology. 676 $a306.768 700 $aRagsag$b Anabelle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0968997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370247803321 996 $aEthnic Boundary-Making at the Margins of Conflict in The Philippines$92201421 997 $aUNINA
