What You'll Learn

The political, economic and social landscape of Southeast Asia provides a rich and diverse terrain for understanding transformative historical forces globally and regionally. With case studies from mostly Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, the course primarily highlights the diversity and commonalities of the region in terms of political systems, state formation, urbanisation processes and modernisation trends, religious traditions, ethnic identities, emerging social issues and dominant cultural systems. In discussing recent trends brought about by increasing globalisation, and political and social changes, historical events are also examined for a comparative perspective of the selected countries in the region.
