In light of the newly established peace process between the Royal Government of Thailand and the BRN, the Webster University Thailand Colloquium seeks to bring together both scholars and practitioners to examine the multiple impediments to peace in the southern Thailand provinces and offer a realistic appraisal of the conflict and its management, resolution or transformation in light of the tentative talks currently under way. The event will be a multi-disciplinary examination of the problems in the southern Thailand region in terms of security, identity, socio-political and economic organization, issues of governance, regional inter-state interdependence and the global factors with a bearing on local issues.

A three-hundred word abstract of any proposed paper along with author name(s) and affiliation should be emailed to houstonkb@webster.ac.th. Papers and contributions will be considered up to a month before the conference event. Click here for the official announcement and here for other conference opportunities.
