Abstract

ABSTRACT The 1997 Peace Accord in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) promised to bring an end to decades of violence in the region. However, 25 years later, the region is still experiencing social conflict between indigenous Pahari people and Bengalis, who have migrated and settled in large numbers since the 1970s. This paper examines the reasons for the continuation of social conflict through a survey on community attitudes and relations. The survey findings show that the legacy of migration and conflict in the CHT is still evident in starkly different views on resources, conflict, and community relations. These findings support the argument that the migration of people with different ethnic backgrounds into regions inhabited by ethnic minorities causes competition for resources that may generate conflict and violence with long-lasting consequences.

暴力和平:和平协定后孟加拉国吉大港山区(CHT)的社区关系
1997年吉大港山区和平协议(CHT)承诺结束该地区数十年的暴力冲突。然而,25年后,该地区仍然经历着土著巴哈里人和孟加拉人之间的社会冲突,孟加拉人自20世纪70年代以来大量移民并定居。本文通过对社区态度和关系的调查来探讨社会冲突持续的原因。调查结果显示,东太平洋地区移民和冲突的遗留问题仍然很明显,对资源、冲突和社区关系的看法截然不同。这些发现支持了这样一种观点,即不同种族背景的人迁移到少数民族居住的地区会引起对资源的竞争,从而可能产生具有长期后果的冲突和暴力。
