Disarmament on Whose Terms? Rethinking Armed Group Control in the Philippines
Between the ballot and the bullet
Navigating Uncertainty
This article explores the strategic decision making of armed groups during war-to-peace transitions—critical time frames during which militant leaders must reconcile their commitment to armed survival with the imperative of postwar civilian conversion. We specify the internal organizational risks rebel groups confront, as well as the menu of strategies from which they select, in navigating the uncertainty inherent in these perilous periods. Our a…
Education, language, and conflict in Myanmar's ethnic minority states
To what extent did the democratic environment in Myanmar allow ethnic minority groups to promote their language and culture? After the opening of the political regime in 2011, Myanmar's ethnic minority groups placed high hopes in securing new rights and powers to manage their own states and preserve their culture. While the state implemented new opportunities for education of ethnic languages and culture, I argue that these small improvements are…
Democracy and Nationalism in Southeast Asia
Jacques Bertrand offers a comparative-historical analysis of five nationalist conflicts over several decades in Southeast Asia. Using a theoretical framework to explain variance over time and across cases, he challenges and refines existing debates on democracy's impact and shows that, while democratization significantly reduces violent insurgency over time, it often introduces pernicious effects that fail to resolve conflict and contribute to ma…

The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
First Movers, Democratization and Unilateral Concessions
The article argues that “first movers” and the bandwagoning effect they trigger can undermine the dynamics that perpetuate civil war and enable a multiparty cease-fire agreement. It looks at the unprecedented “nationwide” cease-fire in Myanmar reached between the government and several ethnic armed organizations in 2015. It shows that democratization and unilateral concessions by the Myanmar government were instrumental in overcoming the commitme…
Violent Monks in Myanmar
This article seeks to understand why monks played a central role in anti-Muslim violence in transitional Myanmar (2013–2014). We argue that scapegoating is one of many strategies used by monks to gain visibility, to strengthen their autonomous networks, and to increase their social credentials. By analyzing two episodes of monks' participation in religious violence (1930s and 2013–2014), we identify two factors that make scapegoating strategies m…
The Institutional Origins of Communal Violence
Autonomy and Stability
Autonomy is often seen as an institutional instrument to manage substate nationalist conflict. Its implementation is key in determining its impact on conflict. While the central state might be satisfied with the absence of violence and stability as a measure of success, an aggrieved group will view success as gaining new powers and new resources. Autonomy often unravels when different goals are being pursued during implementation. “Special autono…
Political Change in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is a vast and complex region, comprising countries with remarkably diverse histories and cultures. Jacques Bertrand provides a fresh and highly original survey of politics and political change in this area of the world. Against the backdrop of rapid economic development and social transformation in several countries, he explores why some countries have adopted democratic institutions, while others have maintained stable authoritari…

Democratization and Ethnic Minorities
Indigenous peoples' rights' as a strategy of ethnic accommodation
In Southeast Asia, the use of 'indigenous peoples' as a category for ethnic accommodation has had mixed results. Cordillerans and Papuans pursued dual strategies, sometimes casting themselves as 'nations', other times as 'indigenous peoples'. While Cordillerans obtained rights as indigenous peoples, Papuans failed. Both obtained concessions during constitutional talks but only Cordillerans obtained recognition and rights as indigenous peoples. Co…
Collective Violence in Indonesia
Since the end of Suharto's so-called New Order (1966-1998) in Indonesia and the eruption of vicious group violence, a number of questions have engaged the minds of scholars and other observers. How widespread is the group violence? What forms—ethnic, religious, economic—has it primarily taken? Have the clashes of the post-Suharto years been significantly more widespread, or worse, than those of the late New Order? The authors of Collective Violen…
Ethnic Conflicts in Indonesia
Beginning in the mid-1990s, there was a sudden rise in violent ethnic conflict in Indonesia. Two aspects that require explanation are the timing and clustering of this type of conflict historically. Other studies have not adequately explained these aspects. Methodological and thematic choices have generated problems with identifying and explaining clustering. Microlevel studies fail to account for the broader changes occurring at a macrolevel. So…
La Fin de l'innocence ? L'islam indonésien face à la tentation radicale de 1967 à nos jours, Andrée Feillard & Rémy Madinier
Cet ouvrage touche à une des questions les plus importantes de l’univers politique indonésien d’aujourd’hui. Le plus grand pays du monde musulman basculera-t-il, lui aussi, vers une radicalisation de l’islam ? Andrée Feillard et Rémy Madinier tracent un portrait équilibré et nuancé du radicalisme islamique en Indonésie, en l’insérant dans une analyse plus globale de l’évolution de l’islam politique au pays. Leur contribution se situe particulière…
The Politics of Economic Development in Indonesia
Despite increased Western interest in Indonesian economic growth, domestic interpretations remain largely unknown outside Indonesia and have rarely been available in English. Translating key speeches and articles from the political debates surrounding Indonesian economic development, the authors present and analyse trends in development thinking by leading Indonesian figures over the last thirty years
Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict in Indonesia
Since 1998, which marked the end of the thirty-three-year New Order regime under President Suharto, there has been a dramatic increase in ethnic conflict and violence in Indonesia. In his innovative and persuasive account, Jacques Bertrand argues that conflicts in Maluku, Kalimantan, Aceh, Papua, and East Timur were a result of the New Order's narrow and constraining reinterpretation of Indonesia's 'national model'. The author shows how, at the e…
Legacies of the Authoritarian Past
In January 1999, sudden and surprising violence broke out between Christians and Muslims in Indonesia’s Spice Islands. Previously seen as a stable province, Maluku2 quickly became the site of devastating interreligious strife. Thousands of people were killed in a spiral of violence over the following years. Little known in the rest of Indonesia and mainly neglected under the Suharto regime, Maluku became a core preoccupation of the Habibie, Wahid…
Peace and Conflict in the Southern Philippines
eace in the Southern Philippines is fragile. The 1996 agreement between the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the government of the Republic of the Philippines that ended more than two decades of hostilities has come under increasing criticism. The cornerstone of the current peace agreement is the creation of an autonomous region in Mindanao, which must be confirmed in a plebiscite in 1999. But there are signs that the population may reje…

"Business as Usual" in Suharto's Indonesia
As Indonesia prepares for elections in May 1997, there are no signs that there will be any significant changes in the political system or its leadership. Instead, the last few months have shown that the New Order regime, and Suharto, are quite capable of resisting change. The cracks that appeared in the early 1990s have been skillfully mended, and Suharto emerges as the strong leader he has always been. The following analysis of recent events in …
False Starts, Succession Crises, and Regime Transition
IN THE LAST DECADE, studies of to democracy have addressed the variety of ways that states have come to establish democratic regimes.' Few findings, however, enable us to generalize across cases or to provide a parsimonious explanation of the wave of democratization around the world. If any general consensus emerges from this literature, it is that the process is very complex, it follows many different historical paths, and the outcome is uncerta…
