About the book
A Maranao political scientist’s case, made in the early 1990s, that autonomy won by politics could answer what the armed struggle had not.
This study by Macapado A. Muslim, who later became president of Mindanao State University, looks at the causes of the Moro armed struggle. It argues for peaceful processes that would lead to "autonomy with compensatory justice" for the Moros within the Philippine community.
The book places responsibility on both the armed government and the armed rebels to build a nonviolent institution that answers the needs of all. It proposes a forum to help resolve the conflict without violence and to bring about structural change. It was published by the Office of the President and the College of Public Affairs of Mindanao State University, and was reprinted in 2017.
