Recenzii
“The book has a neat structure, with clear well-directed chapters. Bibliographic references are located at the end of each chapter. I found it to be well-organized. Each chapter is self-contained, and in this respect, it is a good resource for lecturers, teachers and students. Above all, it is a perfect starting point for students and academics new to South-East Asian Criminology.” (Jade Moran, International Criminology, Vol. 3 (3), 2023)
“How can academic work have meaningful social engagement? Two of the many ways are through research that opens new dialogue on less-known topics, or that sheds light on marginalised people and problems. Such is the focus of Kai Chen’s Children Affected by Armed Conflict in the Borderlands of Thailand, which addresses a topic that has been scarcely studied and a context where unpredictable security conditions in Myanmar and southern Thailand have constrained engagement with the most vulnerable and impacted.” (Hyun Sinae, Asian Studies Review, January 31, 2022)
“Kai Chen’s Children Affected by Armed Conflict in the Borderlands of Thailand contributes to our understanding of the causes and dynamics of child soldiering along the Thai-Myanmar border and in Thailand’s Far South (where a Malay-Muslim insurgency has been raging since 2004), and discusses steps taken by the Thai government to confront this issue. … the book contributes to the literature on children affected by conflict, focusing on the borderlands of Thailand. It also raises many interesting questions.” (Ornanong Husna Benbourenane, Contemporary Southeast Asia, Vol. 43 (2), December, 2021)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book explores how children have been affected by armed conflict in the borderlands of Thailand, particularly in the region abutting the Thailand-Myanmar border, and in the most southern part of Thailand. The author argues that the Thai government has made great efforts to protect children from armed conflict in these borderlands. The author analyzes the obstacles facing the Thai government in protecting children from armed conflict in the borderlands, and advances alternative solutions for how the Thai government might better protect children from armed conflict in the foreseeable future. This book not only opens a window for future research on children affected by armed conflict in the borderlands of Thailand and beyond, but also contributes to the breadth of perspective and depth of expertise in related fields, such as studies of human insecurity. It is relevant to scholars, graduate students, and policymakers interested in the impact of armed conflict on children.
