Abstract

Thailand’s so-called Deep South has experienced much deadly violence since the early 2000s. This article investigates its determining factors in the context of the larger civil unrest/civil war literature—work on Southeast Asia being sparse and work on Thailand almost non-existent. The focus is on 37 sub-provincial districts of four of Thailand’s 77 provinces covering the years from 2012 to 2019. Centering on descriptive statistics with additional panel regressions, it is found that reduced poverty incidence, increased educational attainment for males, and increased district-level per capita income are all associated with reduced conflict intensity (a smaller number of conflict-related deaths). In contrast, ethno-religious backgrounds and certain geographic features are not associated with either increases or decreases in conflict-related deaths.

泰国南部腹地的贫困和冲突
自21世纪初以来,泰国所谓的南部腹地经历了许多致命的暴力事件。本文在更大的内乱/内战文学背景下调查其决定因素——关于东南亚的作品很少,关于泰国的作品几乎不存在。重点是泰国77个省中4个省的37个副省级区,涵盖2012年至2019年。以附加的小组回归的描述性统计为中心,发现贫穷发生率的降低、男性受教育程度的提高和地区一级人均收入的增加都与冲突强度的降低(与冲突有关的死亡人数减少)有关。相反,种族宗教背景和某些地理特征与冲突相关死亡人数的增加或减少无关。
