About the book
Scholars on the peace process as it stood after the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro: the deal, the economy, the clans, the law, and what would be needed to make the Bangsamoro work.
This volume, edited by Paul D. Hutchcroft of the Australian National University, looks at the peace process between the government and the Moro fronts under President Benigno Aquino III. Agreements signed in 2012 and 2014 raised hopes of peace, but the process stalled after the botched Mamasapano operation in early 2015. The book examines that stage of the process and the history, politics and economics behind the conflict.
After Hutchcroft's introduction, the chapters are by people involved in the process and those who study it. Ronald Holmes assesses the Aquino years, and Patricio Abinales critiques the received view of war and peace. Steven Rood looks at international actors, and Miriam Coronel Ferrer writes on the compromises behind the peace settlement. Abhoud Syed Lingga writes on building the Bangsamoro government, and Edilberto and Melinda de Jesus on "the Mamasapano detour". Toby Monsod looks at human development in the ARMM, and Francisco Lara at the shadow economy and strongman rule.
It was published by Anvil in Manila in 2016 and later by World Scientific.
