SUMMARY:Southeast Asia Seminar 2016: The Promise and Challenge of Democracy in 21st Century Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Open for applications: until 4th August 2016\n \nSoutheast Asia is facing uncertainty in its political development\, and what is central to this uncertainty is the broad possible paths to democratic governance. Since the 1980s\, the wide range of experiences with democratic transition has highlighted the difficulties that characterize the region to this day. Increased public participation in democratic processes has been accompanied by opposing trends towards more authoritarian rule. In every country in the region\, government accountability is becoming an increasingly important facet of rule. Interestingly\, however\, the number of full-fledged democratic states in Southeast Asia is still limited. The majority of states can be categorized as different types of hybrid regimes\, in which democratic and non-democratic elements exist side-by-side in the same political system. There is great hope for a future of more democratically oriented politics in the near future\, but at the same time there is little ground for optimism about democracy and democratization in 21st century Southeast Asia.\n            This academic seminar looks at the challenges of democracy in politics\, society and natural resource management\, and explores the possibility\, potentiality and probability of democracy in the region. Democracy usually means a series of political institutions\, such as free and fair elections\, a national parliament with sufficient authority\, and competition among political parties. However these institutions do not function without other broader conditions; state governability\, rule of law\, and accountability; a shared sense of equal citizenship\, a knowledge of civil rights\, and freedom of speech; economic stability\, economic inclusiveness\, and physical safety. The speakers in this seminar will address significant issues and concerns relating to the politics of/in democracy\, social movements in the making and unmaking of democracy\, and the interaction between nature and democratic/undemocratic governance. The seminar includes a one-day field trip within Yangon.\n \nSource: http://www.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/fostering-research/young-researcher-education/southeast-asia-seminar-2016/\n

SUMMARY:2016 NSC Archaeological Field School: Announcement and Call for Applicants
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nIn 2009\, the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (Singapore) (renamed ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute in August 2015) established the Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre (NSC) with the goal of reviving the ancient university of Nalanda as a center for culture and learning. The NSC conceived of an archaeological training program to support this project\, which would bring ten students to Cambodia and Singapore (spending approximately two weeks in each country). The funding for the project is provided by the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The teaching staff for the training program has included prominent researchers from Australia\, Cambodia\, Singapore\, and the United States. \nThis program is meant to contribute to an increased understanding of the ancient and intimate links that have connected Asian countries\, to emphasize the history of intra-Asian interactions over the past 2\,000 years\, and create a community of East Asia Summit (EAS) scholars. It will be through the participants that the training program will disseminate information on the Nalanda University project among the EAS countries’ citizens and governments. \nOther institutions within the EAS that collaborated in this project include the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA)\, Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap (APSARA Authority)\, the Royal Academy of Cambodia\, Sydney University\, and the Australian National University. \nThe 18 East Asia Summit countries are: Australia\, Brunei\, Cambodia\, China\, India\, Indonesia\, Japan\, Laos\, Malaysia\, Myanmar (Burma)\, New Zealand\, the Philippines\, Russia\, Singapore\, South Korea\, Thailand\, the United States\, and Vietnam. \nSource: https://www.iseas.edu.sg. \n

SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition and Documentary “The Campers: Micro-Cosmopolitanism of the Refugee’s World”
DESCRIPTION:Long before Thailand became a magnet for labor migration in the Greater Mekong Sub-region\, it was the main destination for flows spurred by conflict and war. Yet\, Thailand does not subscribe to international refugee conventions and does not formally recognize refugees. So-called displaced persons from Myanmar are placed in camps near the border the first of which was “temporarily” built in Tak Province in 1984 with other located in Mae Hong Son\, Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi provinces. In the camps de facto refugees are protected from arrest\, but without freedom to move or work. Outside of the camps\, they may have more freedom\, but be exposed to even less legal recognition and more risks of abuses and deportation. \nThis borderline situation in both symbolic and physical terms is the focus of the collaboration of SEA Junction and the Center for ASEAN Studies of Chiang Mai University (CAS) entitled “The Campers: Micro-Cosmopolitanism of the Refugee’s World”\, consisting of a photo exhibition and documentary screening and related discussions. \nThe photo exhibition on 20-27 November at SEA Junction is part of field research conducted in between 2011 and 2015 on displaced persons from Burma\, including Karen and Rohingya in and outside of the refugee camp by the anthropologists cum photographers\, Samak Kosem and Kunnawut Boonreak. \nThe opening event will take place on 4.30-6.30PM on 20 November 2016 at SEA Junction and will include a panel by the photographers\, art lecturer and artist Nipan Oranniwesn (Visual Arts Department\, School of Fine and Applied Arts\, Bangkok University) and a resource person from the migrant community (tentative) as well as the screening of the documentary “Michael’s” by again Kunnawut Boonreak. \nThe photos show the economic and religious dimensions of life in the camps of Mae La\, Nu Poe and Umpiem\, by contrasting the statelessness of refugees inside and outside the camps with the transnationality of their networks. In their precarity and confined space\, refugees strive for better livelihoods and more hopeful lives. \nWithin this context\, the documentary examines the lives of ‘Michael Right’ and Yameen ‘Michael Muhammad’\, two Rohingya men who have struggled with issues of citizenship and identity while negotiating everyday struggles as an internally displaced person(s). Their story takes place in the heart of Mae Sot and Umpiem Mai Refugee Camp. The two Michaels are both Rohingya but come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. By juxtaposing their two lives\, Boonreak seeks to examine how their socioeconomic status affects issues of citizenship and identity. While citizenship brings one a life outside the camps fences\, the other tries to acquire citizenship from inside the refugee camp. Both have attempted to maintain their Rohingya identity. Each Michael seeks an ‘identity’ that others will accept. Even with their shared religious identity\, that of being a Rohingya Muslim\, their socioeconomic status divides them (for the official trailer see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF9v0voM2dg). \nThe photos and the documentary were partly supported by The Integration in Southeast Asia: Trajectories of Inclusion\, Dynamics of Exclusion (SEATIDE) and the Southeast Asia Border Research Society (SEABORS). \nOrganizers: SEA Junction — OUR venue to connect on Southeast Asia (see www.seajunction.org) \nCAS — The Center for ASEAN Studies of Chiang Mai University for understanding of ASEAN connectivity and “ASEAN from below”.

SUMMARY:2nd Conversation on Regional Development: Chinese Tourism in Southeast Asia: A Blessing for All?
DESCRIPTION:Today tourism is a buzzword for a quick and easy development paradigm. Yet\, stories of both glory and horror in tourism abound. The glory stories are often related to income and employment generation\, the attraction of foreign exchange\, the opportunities that tourism could provide for regional\, rural and community development\, as well as the opportunity to use tourism as a means for education in history\, culture\, nature and conservation. The horror stories\, on the other hand\, tend to emphasize the unstable nature of tourism\, its possible uneven impact on income distribution in favor of the better-off and its negative impact on society\, culture and the environment. \nThe talk by Prof. Mingsarn Kaosa-ard\, President of the Public Policy Studies Institute Foundation (PPSIF)\, at 5-7.30pm on 22 November at SEA Junction will cover the new face of tourism in SEA dominated by tourists from China and the new opportunities and risks that emerge. \nOrganizers :\nSEA Junction — OUR venue to connect on Southeast Asia (see www.seajunction.org)\nPublic Policy Studies Institute Foundation. (PPSIF) – Aims to foster policy research in the interest of the poor and the vulnerable. (see http://www.ppsi.or.th) \n \n
