Southeast Asia in Political Science: Theory, Region, and Qualitative Analysis

This project seeks to provide a comprehensive review of the study of Southeast Asian politics. It intends to develop state of the art essays on most of the issues of established relevance in comparative politics, governance, development, and social structure. It aims to do so through a sharply focused conversation revolving around theory-building, research methodology, and comparative analysis. The end-result of this project will be an edited book at a university press. In the interim, a workshop will be held on June 18, 19, 2004 under the auspices of the Southeast Asia Forum at the Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University.
