This article serves as a critique of a recent American foreign policy formulation proposingto eradicate ‘warlordism’ and asserting that democratic institutions can be directlycreated out of the post-eradication anarchic chaos. Against this background, recent yearshave indeed seen a bourgeoning literature on ‘warlord politics’ in Southeast Asia. Themajority commonly portray political actors as faithful followers of economic rationalityand self-interest. Therefore, most are conceived as selfish predators who ruthlessly useviolence for private gains at the expense of public interest. By suggesting that comparativestudies on warlordism have been heavily influenced by the political economy perspective,the article develops a more comprehensive analysis of warlord politics. Along the lines ofpatronclient network analysis, insights from moral economy and agency-structuresociological dualism are considered. Contrasting case studies are used to illustrate howthe alleged warlords of Southeast Asia do not fit entirely into the political economyperspective. Caught in a vast patronclient network of competing interests and diversepowers across state and society, one’s agency is constantly constituted by discursive arraysof contending interests, juxtaposing rationalities and multiple intentions. In statebuilding, this complication is regarded as paradoxically necessary for compelling thealleged warlord-actor to re-define and elevate multiple private interests into publicinterest.
