An exploration of the roles that pro- and anti-government militias,
private armed groups, vigilantes, and gangs play in local
communities in the new democracies of Southeast Asia. Scholars have
typically characterized irregular forces as spoilers and
infiltrators in post-conflict peacebuilding processes. The
contributors to this book challenge this conventional understanding
of irregular forces in Southeast Asia, demonstrating that they
often attract solid support from civilians and can be major
contributors to the building of local security - a process by which
local residents, in the absence of an effective police force,
develop, partner or are at least included in the management of
community crimes and other violence. They analyze irregular forces'
dealings with political actors at the community level, explaining
why and how forces are incorporated in and collaborate with
legitimate institutions without using violence against them.
Offering a new approach to dealing with irregular forces in
Southeast Asia, contributors explore new theoretical frameworks
that are better suited for evaluating irregular forces'
relationship to different security providers and the political
environments in the region. Specifically, they examine case studies
from Indonesia, Timor-Leste, the Philippines, and Thailand. A
valuable resource for researchers, students and practitioners in
the areas of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and security
governance, especially those with a focus on Southeast Asia. This
book will also be of great interest to scholars of the sociology
and anthropology of the region.
