While the media tends to pay the most attention to violent
secessionist movements or peaceful independence movements, it is
just as important to understand why there are regions where
political movements for autonomy fail to develop. In neglecting
regions without political movements or full-blown independence
demands, theories may be partial at best and incorrect at worst.
State Institutions, Civic Associations, and Identity Demands
examines over a dozen regions, comparing and contrasting successful
cases to abandoned, unsuccessful, or dormant cases. The cases range
from successful secession (East Timor, Singapore) and ongoing
secessionist movements (Southern Philippines), to internally
divided regional movements (Kachin State), low-level regionalist
stirrings (Lanna, Taiwan), and local but not regional mobilization
of identity (Bali, Minahasan), all the way to failed movements
(Bataks, South Maluku) and regions that remain politically inert
(East and North Malaysia, Northeast Thailand). While each chapter
is written by a country expert, the contributions rely on a range
of methods, from comparative historical analysis, to ethnography,
field interviews, and data from public opinion surveys. Together,
they contribute important new knowledge on little-known cases that
nevertheless illuminate the history of regions and ethnic groups in
Southeast Asia. Although focused on Southeast Asia, the book
identifies two factors that can explain why movements emerge and
successfully develop and concludes with a chapter by Henry Hale
that illustrates how this can be applied globally.
