Workshop on “Critical Perspectives on US-Southeast Asia Relations”

New York City: April 21-22, 2017

[Convenor: Duncan McCargo, Visiting Professor of Political Science]

 

This two-day workshop will bring together scholars doing critical studies of bilateral relations between the United States, its western and regional allies, and a range of countries in Southeast Asia, both during the late Cold War era and since. We also welcome academics whose primary focus is on the domestic politics of individual Southeast Asian countries, but whose work has been illuminated by an attention to international factors. We aim to produce an edited volume or special journal issue from the workshop. For the purposes of this project, Southeast Asia comprises the ten member states of ASEAN, plus Timor Leste. Papers that explore comparisons or linkages with other parts of Asia are welcome, but a core focus should be on Southeast Asia itself. All speakers will be expected to provide a full paper (6000-8000 words) which has not been previously published elsewhere.

 

 

We may be able provide partial funding for those whose papers are accepted, but resources will be limited. We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Dorothy Borg Endowment at Columbia University, and from the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. Please send proposals, including a paper title, 250 word abstract and a short CV to Duncan McCargo, duncan.mccargo@columbia.edu, by November 30, 2016.
