For the purposes of this book ‘security fault lines’ are defined as political cleavages that have the propensity at the extremes to be expressed violently. The focus is on the use of premeditated and systematic violence for political ends while acknowledging that criminality is an inevitable companion. Outbreaks of cathartic violence, such as that following regime change in Indonesia, are mentioned only peripherally as they flow primarily from frustration or grievance rather than from a willful attempt to overthrow a government or split the nation.
