    managed properly.
    RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN
    SOUTHEAST ASIA

    Southeast Asia is geographically and


    religiously split between a mainland region
    that is largely Buddhist and a maritime region
    that is largely Muslim.
    Rakhine State
    World War II produced bitter Muslim–
    Buddhist killings in Rakhine, and just after
    Myanmar independence in 1948.

    Violent relationship between Muslims and


    Catholics in the Philippines. The Mindanao
    Moros openly rebeled in the 1970s.
    SOUTHEAST ASIA’S ETHNIC CRISES IN MODERNITY

    The higher the ethnic homogeneity of


    a country, the lower its level of
    minority tolerance and openness for
    policy change. The table
    demonstrates the government’s
    tendency to appeal to the largest
    common denominator of its
    population for legitimacy. For
    example, the Malaysian government
    implements Bumiputera policies,
    which prioritize ethnic Malay
    resources and benefits such as
    enrolments in universities over
    minorities such as the Chinese.
    TERRITORIAL DISPUTES OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

    The Spratly Islands dispute is an ongoing territorial


    dispute between China, the Philippines, Taiwan,
    Malaysia, Vietnam, and Brunei, concerning
    "ownership" of the Spratly Islands, a group of
    islands and associated "maritime features" (reefs,
    banks, and cays etc.) located in the South China
    Sea.

    The overlapping claims have resulted in tensions,


    diplomatic protests, and occasional military
    confrontations between the claimant states.
    TERRITORIAL DISPUTES OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

    The dispute dates back to the early 20th century


    when the area was under French colonial rule. In
    1962, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled
    that the temple belongs to Cambodia

    The dispute escalated in 2008 when Cambodia


    submitted an application to the United Nations
    Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
    (UNESCO) to have the temple declared a World
    Heritage Site. Thailand opposed the move, claiming
    that it would legitimize Cambodia's claim to the
    disputed area. The move led to a military standoff
    between the two countries, resulting in the death of
    several soldiers.
