Research Center for Peace BuildingThe resurgence of violence in the border provinces southern of Thailand has many contributing factors. It is argued that the main factor is the combination of local patriotism and the sense of injustice. Local patriotism is particularly strong when local population speaks another language, practices another religion and has different historical narratives as compared to the national mainstream. Local patriotism is heightened and further sensitized when the population a the sense of solidarity as common victims of injustice while defending its patriotism. Local patriotism may or may not lead to separatism. For separatism to be viable as policy and feasible through militancy, there need to be international supports based on historical, legal or humanitarian grounds. Given the lack of such supports in the case of the border South, separatism exists as an ideology in the mind of a few who could not find a better answer in their strive to express their patriotism. Nevertheless, when combined with a sense of injustice, patriotism often leads to violent militancy which subverts the original aims in the pursuit of revenge and demand more autonomy. It is advocated that in solving the problem of violence in the border South, local people should be allowed greater participation in decision making especially on matters that may affect their patriotism. They should be allowed to defend their patrimony such as language, customary way of life, natural resources, education of their children etc. The language problem in the border South is discussed. Further language survey and research should be undertaken and participation of local population in the formulation of language policy is recommended.Publication Open Access Prevalence of smoking and other smoking-related behaviors reported by the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in Thailand(2008-12-15) Nithat Sirichotiratana; Chairat Techatraisakdi; Khalillur Rahman; Charles W Warren; Nathan R Jones; Samira Asma; Juliette Lee; นิทัศน์ ศิริโชติรัตน์; Nithat Sirichotiratana; นิทัศน์ ศิริโชติรัตน์; Nithat Sirichotiratana; Mahidol University.

Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. Department of Social SciencesThis study examines the role of Chinese foreign direct investment in economic and social development in Thailand, focusing on the Thai-Chinese Rayong Industrial Zone.

Ratchasuda CollegeThis documentary research aims to compare the real situations of quality of life (QoL) over the past decade (1999-2010) and the essences of laws and policies passed regarding persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Thailand for addressing how they have been complied with each other. The 435 research projects reflecting the real situations of QoL and 74 laws/policies regarding PWDs met criteria were purposely selected. Content analysis as typology and analytic induction was administered on those data. The research results reveal that although there are some real positive situations of QoL of PWDs and the majority of legal essences have been harmonious each other, uphold CRPD and promoted human dignity and equal rights of PWDs without discrimination. However, there are many real negative situations of QoL of PWDs especially poor health condition, low education, unemployment and no more social participation due to lack of accessible services, ineffective coordination, inadequate budgets, unskillful service providers as well as negative attitudes of society toward PWDs have been taken place within those law enforcement over the past decade. Furthermore, there are also legal discrepant essences of some laws that may need to be strongly concerned and reformed. These major findings were also shared to public and stakeholders including PWDs, families, services providers, policy makers, community leaders and members in order to encourage their understanding, critiques and consciousness raising and seek for solving these challenges through mutual participation of those stakeholders. In sum, the real situations of QoL of PWDs over the past decade and the essences of the laws/policies passed in Thailand have been not complied with each other or they imply ineffective law enforcement. These findings suggest what and how lawyers, policy makers and other stakeholders should be done in the next steps for effective laws and their enforcement.
