About the research project
Southeast Asia's importance to Australia is due to its strategic location, between China and India, its increasing economic prosperity and the role played the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The region is politically, economically and culturally diverse and fragmented. This diversity is also reflected in research on the region. This research project is committed to identifying trends in political and social change in the region via single-case country studies or comparative studies of ASEAN countries. The aim is to understand the social and political dynamics of change. Candidates with working knowledge of relevant Southeast Asian language(s), who have work/research experiences in the region, and are interested in one or more of the following areas are encouraged to apply:
- Elections and Political Parties
- Political Islam
- Social Media and Politics
- Democratisation and Social Conflict
- Politics of the Middle-class
- Corruption and Governance Issues
- Asian and Regional Security
- Human Rights and Citizenship
