Chiapas Conflict

The Chiapas conflict (Spanish: Conflicto de Chiapas) generally refers to the Zapatista Uprising and its aftermath, but also deals with the relationship between the indigenous peoples and subsistence farmers in the Mexican state of Chiapas.

The phrase Chiapas conflict is intricately linked with counter-insurgency, low intensity conflict, fourth-generation warfare, and divide and rule.

Famous quotes containing the word conflict:

    The theater, bringing impersonal masks to life, is only for those who are virile enough to create new life: either as a conflict of passions subtler than those we already know, or as a complete new character.
    Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
