  • Machiavelli or Gandhi? : Chaiwat Satha-Anand's nonviolence in a comparative perspective
    Kersten, Carool
    This article examines the doctrine of non-violence formulated by the Thai political scientist Chaiwat Satha-Anand, based on a close reading of his thesis "The Non-Violent Prince". Chaiwat's ... theoretical considerations will be related to the work of the political philosopher Leo Strauss. To illustrate his case for a pragmatic ethics of non-violence, Chaiwat Satha-Anand's doctrine will also be contrasted with the Gandhian notion of non-violence through a comparison with the writings of the French Islamologist Louis Massignon on the subject. Apart from this contrast, Massignon's concern with non-violent solutions for conflicts in the Muslim world forms an interesting parallel to Chaiwat Satha-Anand's engagement with similar issues affecting Thailand's Muslims
