Synopsis:
Southeast Asia is home to diverse political, economic, and social systems. Governance—broadly defined as the processes through which public policies are formulated, implemented, and evaluated—has significant implications for economic growth, social welfare, and political stability throughout the region. In recent years, both domestic and regional governance have emerged as critical concerns in the region, owing to the impacts of the intensified U.S.-China competition and the Covid-19 pandemic.
This special issue aims to examine the trends and to explore the causes and consequences of governance in Southeast Asia. We welcome contributions that focus on international, domestic, and/or regional governance, and also encourage submissions that study the interaction among the three. We seek contributions that study how a variety of actors—including but not limited to states, multinational corporations, international and regional organizations, political parties, ethnic groups, military forces, and civil societies—are involved in governance. Contributions may also explore the institutional and structural determinants as well as policy prescriptions for governance problems in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the editors welcome research articles that engage with theoretical perspectives from international and/or comparative politics (politics in a general sense that includes but not limited to political economy, political sociology, political anthropology, and historical political science) and focus on single or multiple countries as well as various state and non-state actors in Southeast Asia. Our goal for this special issue is to contribute to theoretical and methodological diversity within Southeast Asian studies, so we encourage submissions using qualitative, quantitative, interpretivist, and other methodologies.
