This study has addressed this research question using a survey dataset ( N = 384) that contains a set of variables about the political security and life satisfaction of indigenous peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. This study offers fresh insights into how political insecurity, which has resulted from government repression and systematic violation of human rights, decreases the life satisfaction of indigenous peoples of the CHT. More precisely, indigenous peoples who feel they do not have their right to liberty, freedom of movement, freedom of speech, and the right to participation are more likely to be dissatisfied with their lives than those who report they enjoy these political rights. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that a negative relationship exists between the denial of fundamental freedoms and civil liberties and life satisfaction.

The study is based on multiple secondary sources of data and information (e.g., study reports, conference papers, documents and journal articles). It draws the nexus between understanding historical context and dynamics of conflict; identifies the motives, interests, strategies and capacities of conflicting parties to show how structural and proximate causes trigger violent conflicts in the CHT. The study also explores how state-building project escalates identity crisis and ethnic conflict in this region. However, in the case of social science enquiry, no work goes beyond limitation. And the present work is not exception to this point of view. The major limitations of this study include outright reliance on secondary data. It was very hard for us to cross-check secondary data on the CHT conflict for deeper understanding on the C...

On the contrary, as also observed in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Northern Ireland, just to mention a few examples, several grassroots actors are also spoiling the peace process of the CHT through reinforcing pre-existing ethnic divides and deteriorating the law and order situation. Hence, this study attempts to discover those grassroots actors and interventions that influence (negatively or positively) peacebuilding in the CHT, while also identifying domestic and international challenges that might lead to peacebuilding disaster in the CHT. On account of time constraints and lack of funding for fieldwork, this study is based on desk res...

But forced migration and displacement is new which origin dates back to the emergence of nation-state. Today there is a large and significant literature on forced migration and refugees, the products of political oppression, economic adversaries, environmental degradtion, conflicts and war. Scholars have recognized the refugee problem, the outcome of forced migration, as one of the major threats toregional and global peace and security in the 21st century. In this paper, we focused on the South Asian context. We tried to show how refugees are a threat to peace and security of South Asia.

Reportedly, the Near East and South Asia have experienced 8, 960 out of II, 500 terrorist attacks culminating in Ihe death of 9, 960 in 2010 alone. As a result, it evokes the image of a region that is plagued by the incidence of terrorism and extremism and that has put in jeopardy the whole regional quest for peace and progress. In this context, the paper has attempted to identify the factors associated with the rise and spread of terrorism in South Asia. It has also presented a comprehensive scenario of incidents of terrorism thai took place in different countries of the region. Finally, it concludes with a set of recommendations which can provide a benchmark to address this ominous trend and promote greater regional peace and cooperation.
