Through this mapping Blomberg identifies the problems of Muslim Mindanao. The biggest obstacles has to do with strong frictions between different central actors \u2013 physical violence is still present in form of armed groups and clan feuds at the same time as the security regime is flawed. The autonomy system today is weak and characterised by undemocratic structures and problematic relations between the autonomy and the central state. The ARMM as a territory is difficult to define and has additional sensitive conflicts over natural resources. In other words, the starting position is very different to that of \u00c5land. Despite this, Blomberg argues that there are reasons to seek inspiration in the \u00c5land Example and its innovative solutions to the issues of security, minority identity and power-sharing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/Report_2-2015_Blomberg_webb.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-15021\" style=\"margin: 5px; border: 1px solid #000000; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/Report_2-2015_Blomberg_Page_01.jpg\" alt=\"Report 2 2015 Blomberg Page 01\" width=\"150\" height=\"209\" \/><\/strong><\/a><em>Report no. 2\/2015 in the series Rapport fr\u00e5n \u00c5lands fredsinstitut \u2013 Report from the \u00c5land Islands Peace Institute: The \u00c5land Example Applied \u2013 a Case Study of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The \u00c5land Example and its three components \u2013 autonomy, minority protection and demilitarisation and neutralisation \u2013 have long been presented as a source of inspiration for conflict resolution both in theory and in practice. In the newest addition to this research, political scientist Gustav Blomberg compares the so-called functionality factors of the \u00c5land Example to the implementation of the semi-functional autonomy in Muslim Mindanao (Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, ARMM) in the southern Philippines. The territorial conflict behind, with origins in the Spanish colonisation, is one of the oldest in the world and concerns different Muslim groupings in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blomberg asks the question: can the \u00c5land Example be applied as a source of inspiration in Muslim Mindanao and if so, in what way?
