Civic Activism Continued Through Other Means: Terror-Violence in the South of Thailand

Nathan Porath

Terrorism and Political Violence, 2010, vol. 22, issue 4, 581-600

Abstract: This article explores the relationship between civil society and terror-violence. It argues that terrorism should be understood as “civic activism continued through other means.” This allows us to distinguish it from state-terror. The article then explores the theme with data drawn from the political situation in the south of Thailand focusing on some recent events in which local Thai Malay-Muslims have protested against military presence. The paper also provides a brief history of the development of belligerent separatist groups in the area showing that they emerged after dissatisfaction with 20th century Thai civil-societal possibilities.
