The Grimshaw Review of International Affairs Vol. 2, No. 1 that persistently have and continue to systemically deny the Rohingya of their humanity and rights. Yet, the two theories need not be in opposition; on the contrary, they can complement each other. While constructivism conveys the potential for mobilising transnational solidarity to challenge state-centric norms, postcolonialism ensures this is not superficial, but rather engages with the systemic and structural causes of the Rohingya’s marginalisation. When combined, they call for a two-pronged approach: a global effort to shift norms toward inclusivity and solidarity, alongside an uncompromising critique of the historical and contemporary power imbalances that underpin the oppression of the Rohingya. As Manuel Castells (2007, p. 246) argues, the digital age’s transformative potential lies in its ability to facilitate decentralised networks that empower social movements to confront institutional power on their own terms. For the Rohingya, this means ensuring digital spaces do not become forums for external actors to promote self-interested agendas under the veneer of solidarity, but instead become a platform for the Rohingya to reclaim their own stories and assert their dignity – a genuine expression of their humanity and rightful place in the world. As such, it is only by incorporating both the power of narrative and critique of power itself that a truly just and inclusive solution for the Rohingya can be envisioned – one which not only changes the way the world sees them, but also transforms and the conditions that have historically marginalised them. 8.​ Concluding Discussion The ongoing experience of statelessness and systemic persecution faced by the Rohingya reveals the vulnerability of populations whose rights are overlooked and disregarded by those in positions of power. Despite the ongoing global focus on humanitarian relief efforts – an undeniably necessary approach – this response has proven insufficient in addressing the underlying structural issues that perpetuate the Rohingya’s marginalisation.
