Summary/Abstract |
The clash of civilizations is essentially the conflict among individuals form different civilizations. Individuals struggle for access to survival resources, and the scarcity of resources is the fundamental issue. When it becomes difficult to access resources alone, individuals tend to organize themselves in certain ways, and civilization could be one fo these ways. However, the conflicts among different civilization do not arise as easily as Huntington imagines, and the existence of buffer zones between civilizations is one of the facts that constrain conflict. Buffer zones appear with the emergence of civilization boundaries and are clearly visible in macro and micro cross sections. The buffer zones are the concrete expression of Knowledge shared by civilization and their exchange, interracial neighbouhoods, mixed marriages and so on.

Summary/Abstract |
The ongoing militancy in the Deep South of Thailand is more than a bout of separatist violence: it represents a cultural conflict that strikes at the heart of the Thai nation. Bangkok faces a serious legitimacy deficit in the region, but has failed to address disengagement from, and antipathy towards, the national myths and symbols that depict a country united by a single religion and an ageing monarch. Soothing the tensions will ultimately require a political solution. Duncan McCargo argues that the current insurgency marks a watershed moment: the time to act is now.
