Seminar on Development and Security in Thailand: Part 1. The Insurgency

Abstract

Presented is Part I of a two-part conference record, summarizing the discussions of, and reproducing the papers contributed to, the Seminar on Development and Security in Thailand. Part I examines the nature of the insurgency in Thailand and its implications for U.S. aid programming. At present, Communist operations in Thailand are small, in an early stage of development, and relatively inefficient and unsophisticated; however, there is ample evidence of growth, increased planning, and coordination of activity. In view of the current inadequacy of data on the insurgency, five problem areas are designated as research priorities: (1) the insurgent organization, (2) the insurgent 'image,' (3) the villagers' perspective, (4) the government's information system, and (5) the government's strategic options.
