dc.description.abstractIn this article I examine the regional as well as nation-state level dynamics that shaped the transformation of the Rohingya issue from an assumed internal ethno-religious conflict to a regional refugee crisis. The combination of humanitarian impulses, international pressure and the normative principle of popular sovereignty in Bangladesh led to difficult decisions concerning the Rohingyas who made their way across the border. Consequently, developing a policy of containment and enforcement of the right of return became a national priority. In the following pages, I will briefly trace the historical roots of the Rohingya problem in Burma/Myanmar, provide a summary of the current refugee crisis, and conclude with the challenges and responsibilities neighbouring countries face when inundated with the mass arrival of Rohingya refugees, in particular concerning the role played by Bangladesh.
