The Center for Southeast Asian Studies is very pleased to announce that six students completed their capstone requirements for the Master of Arts degree and will have graduated at the end of spring semes- ter 2013: Abdul Hakim (Maros, South Sulawesi, Indonesia) presented his professional project, entitled Exploring Iko Iko: Traditional Storytelling Originating in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, among the Bajau Community. Following his graduation, Hakim plans to return to Southeast Sulawesi to continue his work with the Bajau, in- cluding training teachers in curriculum development that includes Iko Iko and other traditional storytelling and art forms. He will also travel to East Halmahera (a small island between Sulawesi and Papua) to conduct a project with the Buli Society on community development and preservation of tradition and culture. Committee chair: Dr. Richard McGinn (Emeritus), Linguistics Scott Bentley (Ohio, USA) successfully defended his master’s thesis, entitled Southeast Asia Responds to China’s Maritime Law Enforcement Strategy: Balancing a Perceived Threat by Responding in Kind. Following his gradua- tion, Scott plans to attend the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA) beginning in the summer of 2013, where he will pursue a PhD by research under Dr. Carlyle Thayer. He is looking forward to the opportunity to build upon his initial enquiry at OHIO, which focused on responses by Vietnam and the Philippines to the South China Sea conflict, and continue studying maritime security issues with a broader regional reach. The master’s in Southeast Asian Studies is Scott’s second graduate degree from Ohio University, as he completed a master’s in Political Science in 2012. Committee chair: Dr. Patricia Weitsman, Political Science Katie Bruhn (Ohio, USA) successfully defended her master’s thesis, entitled Art and Youth Culture of the Post- Reformasi Era: Social Engagement, Alternative Expression, and the Public Sphere in Yogyakarta. Katie plans to return to Indonesia during the upcoming summer before beginning doctoral studies at University of California at Berkeley in fall 2013. Committee Chair: Dr. Elizabeth Collins, Classics and World Religions Inna Leng (Phnom Penh, Cambodia) presented her professional project, An Online Elementary Khmer Language Course. Following her graduation, Inna plans to move to Maryland to join her fiancé, Vichet Sum, who teaches there. She will continue to work on Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), and plans to search for employment in the Washington, D.C. area. Committee Chair: Dr. Gene Ammarell, Anthropology Yuyun SriWahyuni (Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia) passed her com- prehensive exams in the areas of gender and neo-liberalization; ethnographic field methods; and Islam and Sufism in Indonesia. Following her graduation, Yuyun plans to return to Indone- sia to teach at Mulawarman University, East Kalimantan. She will also be working with NGOs there, focusing on gender and social justice. She hopes to apply for doctoral programs, so per- haps we will meet Yuyun again in the not-too-distant future. Editor’s note: We wish Yuyun additional congratulations on her recent marriage to Mr. Nanang Gunawan! Committee chair: Dr. Loren Lybarger, Classics and World Religions Agustinus Budi Winursito (Magelang, Indonesia) passed his comprehensive ex- ams in the areas of cultural and linguistic Approaches to translation; ethnographic field meth- ods; and Southeast Asian literature.

Committee chair: Dr. Gene Ammarell, Anthropology On behalf of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, warmest congratulations on your accomplishments. PAGE 3 MONSOON Student Updates First-Year Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS) Students Anne Oros (Ohio, USA) “While Ohio University is remote and small, its programs are diverse, with professors who truly stimulate dialogue and critical thinking,” says Anne. Anne’s areas of interest are in the religion, art, and development of Indonesia. Her favorite class thus far has been “Southeast Asian Puppet Theater,” taught by Dr. William Condee (IART 5601, fall 2012). During the spring semester, Anne provided graduate student support for Ms. Indu Sharma’s class on Hinduism, offered through the department of Classics and World Religions. Anne will serve as the president of the Southeast Asian Students Association (SEASA) for the 2013-2014 academic year. Amanda Samalo (Surabaya, Indonesia) Asked to describe Ohio University, Amanda said simply, “Beautiful place, awesome classes.” While she misses Indonesian food, as well as her family (including her dog) in Surabaya, she feels she has been able to explore a variety of interests, including agricultural economy, during her first year in the master’s program. A graduate of OHIO’s Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies -Asia program, she loves the Athens community. Amanda is cur- rently researching the relatively new phenomenon of stand-up comedy in Indonesia. Antonina Suryantari (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) “At OHIO, you get opportunities to make friends from throughout the world. You will also find opportunities to meet and get to know great people willing to help you in your studies,” said Antonina (Nina). To that end, she mentioned “Southeast Asian Puppet Theater” as one of her favorite classes she took during her first year. Nina currently teaches Bahasa Indonesia for her graduate assistantship, and when not on campus, she keeps busy caring for her very active young son, Ian. Vicki Wijaya (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) Upon arriving in Athens, Vicki noted that “Ohio University is going to be life-changing for me. It is a beautiful place, with great people.” During her first year in the master’s program, Vicki has explored a variety of differ- ent courses, including an online course in the Economics of Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia (ECON 5760), facilitated by Dr.

Prof. M. L. Pinitbhand Paribatra, Ph.D. Academic Years 2017 ABSTRACT According to Thai constitutions, parliament has legal duty and power to engage in foreign policy, but it was not until 2007 that Thai parliament could play much of an assertive role in the foreign policy process. Parliamentarians amended section 224 of the constitution of 1997 in order to control and check the cabinet and government in the matter of negotiations with other states and international organizations and to allow itself to engage in the process of foreign policy making. Through adding more stages in conduct of negotiation, parliament could be a part of consideration and approval of negotiation framework and final agreed text, not merely acknowledgment.

  • The World Factbook
    The World Factbook East & Southeast Asia :: Thailand Introduction :: Thailand Background: A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US treaty ally in 1954 after sending troops to Korea and later fighting alongside the United States in Vietnam. Thailand since 2005 has experienced several rounds of political turmoil including a military coup in 2006 that ousted then Prime Minister THAKSIN Chinnawat, followed by large-scale street protests by competing political factions in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Demonstrations in 2010 culminated with clashes between security forces and pro-THAKSIN protesters, elements of which were armed, and resulted in at least 92 deaths and an estimated $1.5 billion in arson-related property losses. THAKSIN's youngest sister, YINGLAK Chinnawat, in 2011 led the Puea Thai Party to an electoral win and assumed control of the government. YINGLAK's leadership was almost immediately challenged by historic flooding in late 2011 that had large swathes of the country underwater and threatened to inundate Bangkok itself. Throughout 2012 the Puea Thai-led government struggled with the opposition Democrat Party to fulfill some of its main election promises, including constitutional reform and political reconciliation. Since January 2004, thousands have been killed

  • Catalogue Des Éditions Gope (Avril 2020)
    Catalogue 2020 LITTÉRATURE - DOCUMENTAIRE - BD Reflets d’Asie du Sud-Est Notre ligne éditoriale Créée en 2009, Gope est une maison d’édition indépendante ayant pour vocation de faire découvrir l’Asie du Sud-Est (Thaïlande, Hong Kong, Malaisie, Cambodge, Indonésie…) par le livre et plus particu- lièrement le texte. Loin de tout exotisme bon marché, nos livres ne vendent pas une destination mais permettent de découvrir, comprendre, apprécier ces terra qui sont pour beaucoup incognita, et leurs habitants. C’est pourquoi nous privilégions les auteurs, expatriés ou natifs, qui sont à cheval entre deux cultures, occidentale et orientale. Cette ligne éditoriale nous conduit ainsi à publier des traductions (langues sources : anglais, thaï, chinois). Nos livres s’adressent, bien sûr, aux personnes ayant un intérêt pour l’Asie en général, et notamment pour l’Asie du Sud-Est, mais nombre d’entre eux peuvent toucher un public plus large de lecteurs désirant découvrir de nouvelles contrées et/ou de nouvelles voix. L’éditeur : David Magliocco Né le 9 février 1966, en Haute-Savoie. Fait des études universitaires puis travaille dans l’industrie électronique, d’abord à des postes techniques pour ensuite, à partir de 1998, occu- per des postes d’encadrement impliquant des voyages réguliers en Chine. De 2008 à 2014, exerce en tant que consultant indépendant. En ce qui concerne les métiers du livre, David Magliocco sortait donc d’absolument nulle part lorsqu’il a créé les éditions Gope ! Toutefois, gros lecteur, il avait aiguisé sa plume, pour son plaisir, dans diffé- rentes expériences d’écriture et de traduction.
