About the book
How the clans of Muslim Mindanao hold power through violence, and why the state lets them, in a report from the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. Free to read.
This is PRIF Report No. 71, written in 2005 by Peter Kreuzer of the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. Its main argument, as library abstracts describe it, is that the war in the south cannot be understood from political and economic causes alone. Local dynamics also matter.
Kreuzer treats violence between clans and political families as a layer of conflict of its own, alongside the struggle for independence, and older than the rebellion. He shows how clans can use the armed groups of the civil war to pass off their own political feuds as acts of war. The report runs to about 40 pages.
