Abstract

The Rohingya issue is one of the most widely discussed phenomena throughout our country. This crisis has persisted for a long time and may become a long-term problem if it is not managed skillfully. To address the issue effectively, it is essential to understand the underlying motives and dynamics behind it. In this research paper, one of the most significant analytical approaches—game theory—is applied to examine the causes of the Rohingya crisis. Based on these motives and interactions, a suitable game-theoretic framework will be identified to determine whether the issue can be modeled as a monopoly, duopoly, zero-sum, or constant-sum game. The analysis aims to derive an optimal solution for this problem, which may assist policymakers in taking informed decisions to resolve the crisis.
