Abstract
The brutal military crackdown in Myanmar's Rakhine state caused more than 1 million Rohingya refugees to flee to Bangladesh. By analyzing the tripartite relationship between nationalism, violence, and statelessness, this commentary examines how Myanmar's political exclusion of the Rohingya contributed to their stateless condition and led to an ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region. The study argues that the Rohingya are stateless because of Myanmar's state‐sanctioned ethnic discrimination premised on nationalist conceptions of the country as a uniquely Burmese and Buddhist nation‐state. The state systematically justifies the Rohingya's precarity within Myanmar society to promote an imagined national homogeneity. 缅甸若开邦的残酷军事镇压已导致一百多万罗兴亚难民逃往孟加拉国。通过分析民族主义、暴力和无国籍之间的三方关系,本研究探讨了缅甸对罗兴亚人的政治排斥如何导致他们的无国籍状态,并导致该地区持续的人道主义危机。本研究论证,罗兴亚人之所以无国籍,是因为缅甸政府许可的种族歧视,这种歧视基于民族主义者的构想,后者将缅甸视为一个独特的缅甸人及佛教民族国家。国家系统性地证明罗兴亚人在缅甸社会中的不稳定状况,以推动一个想象中的民族同质性。 La brutal represión militar en el estado de Rakhine en Myanmar provocó que más de un millón de refugiados rohingya huyeran a Bangladesh. Al analizar la relación tripartita entre nacionalismo, violencia y apatridia, este estudio examina cómo la exclusión política de los rohingya en Myanmar contribuyó a su condición de apátridas y condujo a una crisis humanitaria en curso en la región. El estudio sostiene que los rohingya son apátridas debido a la discriminación étnica sancionada por el Estado en Myanmar y basada en concepciones nacionalistas del país como un Estado‐nación exclusivamente birmano y budista. El Estado justifica sistemáticamente la precariedad de los rohingya dentro de la sociedad de Myanmar para promover una homogeneidad nacional imaginada.
