Conflict's long game in the Bangsamoro offers an incisive analysis of the peace and conflict terrain of the Bangsamoro region captured by a granular database of violent conflict incidents from 2010 to 2020. The reports in this anthology provide valuable insights into the intricate dynamics at play that policy makers, development workers, and peacebuilders can utilize when designing programs and initiatives that are both conflict sensitive and growth enhancing. Conflict Alert's panel data bares a tale of declining violence amidst newly emerging conflicts that national, regional, and local government units in Muslim Mindanao, including civil society, and businesses can only ignore at their own peril.
