Abstract
This study examines the interrelation between prolonged conflict and economic stagnation in Southern Thailand, focusing on the government’s role in mitigating these issues. It explores the deep-rooted historical, cultural, and political complexities that contribute to the region’s unrest and economic underperformance compared to the national average. Emphasizing the post-2004 escalation of violence, this research analyzes the detrimental impact on key economic sectors like tourism and agriculture and the consequences of labor migration and investment trends. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the Thai government’s multifaceted peacebuilding and economic recovery initiatives, from infrastructure development to community engagement programs, and security measures. It highlights the challenges of ensuring long-term economic growth, inclusive development, and effective project implementation. Finally, the study underscores the need for strategies that transcend theoretical frameworks, advocating for approaches grounded in on-the-ground intelligence and cultural awareness to foster sustainable peace and economic development in conflict-affected regions.
