Southeast Asia is a geographically shattered and politically diversified region. Its geopolitical significance has become more salient in the last few years, given the growing shadow of China, and its diversity has been the focal point of students of regional studies and social sciences. The overarching question is whether we could understand the diversity via generalized explanations. This seminar intends to tackle the puzzle through extensive reading and theoretically-driven discussion. Majors issues about state-building, nationalism and ethnic politics, economic development, religious politics, regime dynamics, and international relations in Southeast Asia will be discussed along the course.
