The Rohingy The Causes Of Conflict As A Global Conflict

“The Cause of War” is a book written by Australian author Geoffrey Blainey. The book is a collection of studies from wars since 1700’s and it analysis the relation of rivaling nations. The book is divided in four parts it starts discussing the weakness behind the current theories of peace, it then moves to talk the “ingredients” which are key for a nation to determine whether they will go to war or not. Third part of the group is about some misleading theories of war, and the last part just deals with the variety of war.

In general, conflict theory is to explain the conflict between authority groups and powerless groups through the uneven distribution of power and resources in society (Lai, 2013). It is based entirely in power and how those in power do all they can to hold the majority of the population down and to keep them from gaining power, so as to secure their own position. Conflict theorists all assume that the existing social order is not a product of consensus and mutual benefit but rather a function of power differentials in society. These perspectives recognize that societal resources are limited and contend that opposing groups are in a constant struggle for a greater share of the resources and power that comes with them. As groups struggle to gain

Conflict, according to Wilmot & Hocker (2011), is defined as an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others in achieving their goals.

The Rohingya are a Muslim Ethnic group there are around 2 million in world right now, and every single one of them is been persecuted.

Briefly explain the circumstances surrounding the conflict. Specify what kinds of conflicts are taking place.

Conflict is something that exists in the everyday lives of all humans throughout the world. It can be shaped by the thoughts that are shared and also challenged by others. Conflict is like a tree. Once the idea is planted into someone's thoughts, it sprouts and begins to grow. As the idea continues to grow and spreads its branches, others who agree with the idea grow around it and the conflict builds and builds until it is like an overwhelming forest. Once conflict is formed and created, it can grow until it affects the lives of everyone is the surrounding area and can lead to extreme cases. This is the case when Callero shows how conflict can be created and begin violence, how Venkatesh shows the spread of conflict so the violence affects

There have been many conflicts all around the world and through out history, they had been caused because of religious, racial, or economic issues and most of this conflicts have ended pretty badly, two of those cases are the French and the Haitian revolutions which they both have much in common. They have occurred by the oppression of people and because of the restrictions each country had, such as liberty, racial issues, economic issues, distribution of power from the social classes, etc. These revolutions have started in similar ways. The Haitian revolution started in 1791 and was the cause of a fight from the slaves for equality as they where treated as “semi-citizens”. The free mulattoes forced this revolution in the French colony of St. Domingue, they where many revolutions of this kind all around the Caribbean but his was certainly the most successful one.

The purpose of this essay is to inform on the similarities and differences between systemic and domestic causes of war. According to World Politics by Jeffry Frieden, David Lake, and Kenneth Schultz, systemic causes deal with states that are unitary actors and their interactions with one another. It can deal with a state’s position within international organizations and also their relationships with other states. In contract, domestic causes of war pertain specifically to what goes on internally and factors within a state that may lead to war. Wars that occur between two or more states due to systemic and domestic causes are referred to as interstate wars.

The following wars have been divided between 1.) Wars caused by ethnic issues and 2.) Wars not caused by ethnic issues. After determining the cause of war, I will focus on particular aspects of the war predominantly the death toll, how long the war lasted, if core states got involved in the conflict and if so how far removed were they from the region of conflict. Finally and most importantly, I will compare and contrast the two types of wars (1.) Wars caused by ethnic conflict and 2.) Wars not caused by ethnic conflict) and determine how these wars were ultimately resolved. More specifically, I am determining if wars caused by ethic issues are resolved by internal means or whether they are resolved by external factors such as core states or states that have an invested interest in the matter.

Myanmar is trying to exterminate the Rohingya Muslims and innocent people are being punished. The government/militaries are raping women, slaughtering men and children, and burning down homes. The government is murdering children who don’t even know what their crime is. This is all happening because the Muslims are staying loyal to their faith and not giving it up. Myanmar is going through genocide which is when a small group of people are being killed by a larger group of people for their religion, race, and ethnicity.The conflict in Burma is a genocide because groups of Rohingya Muslims are being targeted, this is targeting a religion, and the Muslims are thought of as criminals who deserve to be punished.

The company Enron was formed in 1985 after two natural gas companies, Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth merged together. Kenneth Lay, former chief executive officer of Houston Natural Gas was named CEO of Enron and a year later, Lay was assigned to the chairman of Enron. A few years later, Enron launched a website to allow customers to buy stock for Enron, making it the largest business site in the world. The growth of Enron was rapid; it was even named seventh largest company on the Fortune 500 list; however things began to fall apart in 2001. (News, 2006). In the third quarter of that same year, Enron posted an enormous loss of over $600 million in four years. This is one of the reasons why one of the top executive resigned even though he had only after six months on the job. Their stock prices fell dramatically. Eventually, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection. This caused many investors to lose money they had invested in the company and employees to lose their jobs and their investments, including their retirement funds. The filing of bankruptcy and the resignation of one of the top executives, also led to an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Committee, which proved to be one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history. (News, 2006). All former senior executives stood trial for their illegal practices.

This conflict spans multiple generations of Burmese with a deep seeded hatred towards the Rohingya, and creates questions that would help understand the root causes for the Rohingya genocide. Why are the both the ethnic majority and the government in Myanmar, so driven to commit genocide on the Rohingya minority? The answer to this question is asserted by examining the economic circumstances in the country. Burma has faced extreme underdevelopment and corruption post the military junta takeover in 1962. The difficult economic circumstances in the state of Myanmar are the primary driving force for the majority to commit genocide on the Rohingya by what they view as the most rational solution to better their economic circumstances. In order to illustrate this assertion and draw conclusions from it, we must analyze the major economic risk factors and warning signs that have been prevalent in Burmese history since the British colonial period. This paper will first outline who the Rohingya people are, their origins, and their significance to Burmese history. Secondly, the economic situation in Myanmar as well as the logic of understanding this atrocity from an economic circumstance. Lastly, the response and treatment by the military and ethnic majority towards the Rohingya will be

The causes of war I will be looking at will be; Politics, Nationalism, Ideology, Land, resources, historical rivalry, ethnic conflict and religion. These are the main causes of war.

The Rohingya Muslims have tried many things to cope with these attacks, resulting in both good and bad outcomes. For most of the Rohingyas, they were either kicked

1. International conflict among countries is more likely of what we may think. Today there are many different ongoing conflicts. International conflict is a stage of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more states (Malek). The term "international conflict" referred to conflicts between different nations and conflicts between people and organizations in different nations (Mr. Turetzky lec 11). It also applies to inter-group conflicts within one country when one group is fighting for independence or increased social, political, or economic power. International conflicts can be divided into two branches: private international conflict and public international conflict. A private international conflict is a disagreement
