“How can academic work have meaningful social engagement? Two of the many ways are through research that opens new dialogue on less-known topics, or that sheds light on marginalised people and problems. Such is the focus of Kai Chen’s Children Affected by Armed Conflict in the Borderlands of Thailand, which addresses a topic that has been scarcely studied and a context where unpredictable security conditions in Myanmar and southern Thailand have constrained engagement with the most vulnerable and impacted.” (Hyun Sinae, Asian Studies Review, January 31, 2022)
“Kai Chen’s Children Affected by Armed Conflict in the Borderlands of Thailand contributes to our understanding of the causes and dynamics of child soldiering along the Thai-Myanmar border and in Thailand’s Far South (where a Malay-Muslim insurgency has been raging since 2004), and discusses steps taken by the Thai government to confront this issue. … the book contributes to the literature on children affected by conflict, focusing on the borderlands of Thailand. It also raises many interesting questions.” (Ornanong Husna Benbourenane, Contemporary Southeast Asia, Vol. 43 (2), December, 2021)
