dc.description.abstractThis study attempts to understand Muslim society of Thailand in the context of global Islamic resurgence. It investigates the historical background of Muslim society in Bangkok and the Deep South, and examines Islamic resurgence with a focus on the growth of transnational Islamic consciousness and Muslim civil society in Thailand. Islamic resurgence in Thailand is part of the larger process of global Islamic resurgence which emerged under the conditions of globalisation. Globalisation has intimate relations with the rise of Islamic consciousness. It accelerates the growth of Islamic consciousness to dramatic rapidity and Islamic resurgence that extends its reach throughout the world produces a globalising trend, that is, the global Islamic resurgence. Although the evolutional paths of Muslim society in Bangkok and that in the Deep South are different, they both enjoy the benefits of Islamic resurgence. Muslim society of Thailand finds the way to reconstructing Islamic identity with Islamic consciousness. Globalisation enables a variety of reformist ideas to interact and revitalise. Therefore, Islamic traditions in Thailand are reshaped by Islamic S ī T ī ī J ā‗ S ī‗ T tendencies are the consequence of the influx of current Islamic reformist currents which have developed with different characters. The dialectical relations among those ideas move the Muslim society of Thailand towards increasing Islamic consciousness and development of Islamic intellectualism through propagation activities by Muslim civil society. Although clashes and polemics may occur in the process, they do not permanently set back the growth of Islamic consciousness. Rather, they are merely manifestations of the dynamics in Muslim society.en_US
