ABSTRACT This article explores the Taliban’s insurgency (2007–9) in Swat valley (Pakistan), with two objectives: (a) how civilians survive violence and (b) what their survival strategies mean for them. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, conducted in 2016 to 2019, it offers a typology of civilians’ survival strategies which includes resistance, accommodation, readjustment and withdrawal. It finds that although the strategies worked, resistance and accommodation have had a detrimental impact on civilians in the form of direct violence. In comparison, readjustment and withdrawal helped them avoiding direct violence but have had a negative impact on civilian life and society.

摘要 本文探讨了塔利班在斯瓦特河谷（巴基斯坦）的叛乱（2007-9 年），有两个目标：(a) 平民如何在暴力中幸存下来，以及 (b) 他们的生存策略对他们意味着什么。借鉴 2016 年至 2019 年进行的深入访谈和焦点小组讨论，它提供了平民生存策略的类型，包括抵抗、适应、调整和撤退。它发现，尽管这些策略奏效，但抵抗和迁就以直接暴力的形式对平民产生了不利影响。相比之下，重新调整和撤离帮助他们避免了直接暴力，但对平民生活和社会产生了负面影响。
