“With more than 650 million people, a combined GDP of $3.6 trillion, and being home to one of the most successful examples of regional cooperation, Southeast Asia plays a critical role in the contemporary world order. Yet, the Western-centric literature on International Relations has ignored this region. This book, framed in the emerging paradigm of Global IR, and combining original research with careful analysis, meets the critical need for a survey of the state of IR in Southeast Asia.” Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor, American University, Washington DC; Past President of the International Studies Association (ISA) “Obviously, International Relations studied through western-centric experiences and assumptions can only be partial and inaccurate. The key challenge lies in how to correct such biases. This volume provides rich food for thought from a part of the world that has long and varied experience with navigating the international and the global. It demonstrates the social, political, and institutional complexities of academic practice that shape and constrain the globalization of the discipline. It also suggests that, like those from other regions, Southeast Asian concepts and practices should be informing the revision of general theories of IR.” Evelyn Goh, FBA FASSA, Shedden Professor of Strategic Policy Studies, The Australian National University
