- This book is a substantive research monograph that builds on original empirical data and makes several methodological contributions to the field of conflict and security studies. It builds on six years of research, including extensive fieldwork in Myanmar’s conflict-ridden border areas (more than one year altogether). During this time, the author conducted eight months of ethnographic fieldwork inside two of Asia’s most powerful ethnic rebel movements (the Karen National Union and the Kachin Independence Organisation). This enabled a fine-grained analysis of the relations between rebel leaders, their rank-and-file, and local communities in the context of wider political and geopolitical transformations.
