摘要
Civilians deploy various strategies to survive violence in armed conflicts; literature, however, does not debate the relative effectiveness of such strategies. This article answers how certain strategies are valued and are employed frequently in comparison to others. Based on qualitative fieldwork in Swat Valley undertaken in 2016 to 2019, where Taliban insurgents fought against the State of Pakistan in 2007-09, the research finds that civilians deployed resistance, accommodation, resolution, readjustment and withdrawal to survive. It further finds that as violence intensifies, strategies of resistance and accommodation give way to strategies of readjustment and withdrawal.
