所謂「島嶼東南亞國家」係指包括菲律賓、印尼、馬來西亞、汶萊、東帝汶和新加坡等六個國家，該六國相對與大陸東南亞國家（包括泰國、緬甸、越南、柬埔寨和寮國），正好形成一個鮮明的海陸對比。然而，除了東帝汶和汶萊之外，前述四國均具備非常完整的政治和經濟的發展體制，不過由於各國的民主化歷程互有差異，加上該經濟發展程度也彼此不同，因而給予外界極大的衝擊。
基於此，為了印證政治民主化與經濟發展關聯性，本課程的授課目標擬針對菲律賓、印尼、馬來西亞和新加坡等四國的政經現況、民主化歷程以及未來的展望，逐一進行探討和剖析。至於，本課程的上課方式主要是以課堂討論為主，期望透過與學生對話互動的方式，培養其自主學習的習慣。
The so-called "island Southeast Asian countries" refer to six countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, East Timor and Singapore. These six countries are exactly the same as the mainland Southeast Asian countries (including Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos). A stark contrast between sea and land. However, with the exception of East Timor and Brunei, the four countries mentioned above all have very complete political and economic development systems. However, due to the differences in the democratization processes of each country and the different levels of economic development, they have given the outside world a great deal of impact.
Based on this, in order to prove the correlation between political democratization and economic development, the teaching objectives of this course are to discuss and analyze the current political and economic status, democratization process and future prospects of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore one by one. As for the class method of this course, it is mainly based on classroom discussions. It is hoped that through dialogue and interaction with students, they can cultivate their independent learning habits.
