This study examines a number of themes underlying the struggle to identify the character and causes of the violence engulfing southern Thailand s border provinces since 2004. It begins by outlining key representations of the southern problem in Thailand. Then, drawing on little-used Thai-language documentation, and on interviews and field study, this monograph focuses on three topics. First, it addresses the prominence of a number of conspiracy theories claiming that killings and bombings have been engineered, in whole or in part, by vested interest groups rather than by ideologically inspired separatists. Conspiratorial models are a dominant feature of explanations of conflict in Thailand. The study argues that the circulation of conspiracy speculation brings into relief the tangible reality of the labyrinthine and disorderly borderland, which is a major problem requiring attention that has long been deferred by Thailand's governments. Second, the monograph focuses on some problematic arguments claiming that Thaksin Shinawatra's dissolution of the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center in 2002 paved the way for the current insurgency, and holds that the SBPAC and previous governments failed in the previous decade to detect an emerging new network-based militancy. Third, it discusses the political uses of the southern crisis by the opposition Democrat Party, which was able to preserve its electoral base in the south by demonizing Thaksin as the key cause of the turbulence. The study argues that representations of the southern crisis have been inherently political, and that the major reality needing attention is the complexity and vulnerability of a disorderly, contested, and neglected borderland..

Who was the gentle man whose dying thoughts after a factory accident were not of his mutilated body but of his responsibility to his family? And why would a man who was a hero to his home village in Italy suddenly break all ties and never speak of his homeland again? In this spirited memoir, veteran TV journalist Paul Paolicelli does what all of us can only dream of---he picks up and moves to a foreign country in an attempt to piece together the mysteries surrounding both his grandfathers. With the help of Luigi, his guide and companion, he travels throughout Italy---Rome, Gamberale, Matera, Miglionico, Alessandria, even Mussolini's hometown of Predappio---and discovers the tragic legacy of the Second World War that is still affecting the Old Country. He visits ancient castles and village churches, samples superb Italian cuisine, haggles at the open-air market at Rome's Porta Portese, enjoys an Alessandria siesta, and frequents "coffee bars" where beggars discuss politics with affluent Italians. He finds long-lost cousins during the day and performs with an amateur jazz group during the night. Along the way he discovers deeply moving stories about his family's past and learns answers to questions that have plagued him since childhood. This is a story about Italian grandfathers, but in a larger sense it is also a story about all grandfathers---all the risk-takers and immigrants from any generation---who were willing to sacrifice personal comfort in order to provide a better and more secure life for their families. It is a story about honoring our linkage to the past through the memories of the present. More than just a spiritual account of one man's ancestral search, Dances with Luigi is also a stunning portrait of la Bella Italia---both old and new----that is painted beautifully in all of its glamour, history, and contradiction..
