- Political Parties
James works on contemporary politics in Malaysia and Singapore, and Southeast Asia generally. He also works on domestic politics of Papua New Guinea and Fiji. His work deals mainly with regime change and maintenance in societies where there are omnipresent threats of ethnic and religious conflicts.
'I am particularly interested in hybrid regimes where a single party can stay in power over long periods without being completely authoritarian nor allowing full democracy. Many of these countries hold regular elections and allow opposition political parties to functions openly. These countries do not easily fit into existing political science theories on democratisation.'
'In my research I am try to understand how the dynamics of race and religion (eg. political Islam) can be used to maintain regimes over long periods while regular semi-competitive elections are held. I also try to understand how these regimes can fall due to the same dynamics race and religion.'
In 2013, James co-edited (with Bridget Welsh) the book. Awakening: The Abdullah Badawi Years in Malaysia. The book was a best seller in Malaysia. He is also the co-editor (with Andrew Harding) of 50 years of Malaysia: Federalism revisited (2014), which was shortlisted for the Popular-The Star Readers Choice Awards 2015.
