Patani and Chechnya: Lessons from a History of Insurgency

Abstract

The history of the Chechnya and that of the Sultanate of Patani, comprised by the southern Thai provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani, share a religion, Islam, and a long history of insurgency against an ethnically and religiously dissimilar majority. In addition, the present insurgencies in both regions have been labeled by some as Jihadi insurgencies. This monograph explores the cases of Patani and Chechnya as most dissimilar systems to find lessons applicable to the U.S. military as it encounters historic insurgencies with Islamic overtones.
