Who Pays for Climate-Resilient Wash? Supplier Perspectives on Pro-Poor Financing and Adaptation in Rural Cambodia
Climate change is intensifying risks to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in rural Cambodia, raising questions about how climate-resilient services can be delivered equitably and who should finance them. Small-scale private WASH suppliers play a central role in rural service delivery, yet their perspectives are rarely reflected in WASH program design. This study examines how rural Cambodian WASH suppliers understand climate adaptatio…
Externality, ideology and sphere of influence
We build a game-theoretic model to formalize Kindleberger ’s (1996) idea of the public good of leadership. Two superpowers use ideology to compete for influence by forming clubs whose members benefit more when their orientations are closer to the club’s. Pecuniary externalities create complementarity among non-superpowers. Their collective agency forces superpower to compromise by choosing an orientation not aligned with its own. We find that sup…

Facilitators and Barriers to Hiv Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Adherence and Retention Among Young Men Who have Sex With Men
Retention and adherence to daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are critical for effective HIV prevention; however, YMSM exhibit lower rates of both compared to other populations. This is important because young men who have sex with men (YMSM) are at higher risk for HIV, and understanding their challenges can help create better support and interventions. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on the facilitators and barriers to HIV PrEP …
Disability Inclusion in Rural Vietnam
This paper examines a donor-funded development project in the rural mountainous districts of Vietnam aimed at improving water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services for vulnerable households, particularly those with disabilities. The study investigates the project’s impact on disability inclusion at the household and community levels and identifies factors that support or hinder progress towards inclusion for people with disabilities. Data from…
Networking community health workers for service integration
Community health workers (CHW) can play an active role in providing integrated HIV and harm reduction services. We used social media to create a virtual network among Vietnamese CHW. This paper reports CHW’s social media engagement and the relationships with other work-related indicators. Sixty CHW participated in an intervention for integrated HIV/drug use service delivery. Following two in-person sessions, Facebook groups were established for C…
Political Participation and Democratic Capability in Authoritarian States
This book provides an innovative theoretical and empirical exploration of the political participation and democratic capability of people living in authoritarian states. Merging perspectives from sociology and political science, the book demonstrates that despite autocratic restrictions on opposition, there is often still leeway for people to express themselves as political agents and to develop democratic capability. The first two chapters probl…
Community Capacity Building for HIV and Addiction Service Integration
Scientific findings and policy guidelines recommend integrating HIV and drug addiction prevention and care into community-based settings. Systematic capacity-building efforts are warranted to provide technical support for community health workers and improve their confidence in the integrated service provision. An intervention trial was conducted between 2018 and 2019 with 120 community health workers (CHW) from 60 communes in Vietnam's four prov…
Political Participation and Democratic Capability in Authoritarian States
Education, globalization, and citizenship
Drawing on two research projects that include Vietnamese overseas-educated academics and local school teachers, the paper discusses these educators’ reflections on citizenship, citizenship education and Vietnam’s higher education reform in the context of globalization. Through the lens of Michel Foucault’s knowledge/power and subjectivity, and taking on Arjun Appadurai’s social imaginary, we illustrate the contested values of education and comple…
Investigating pre-service teachers’ informally-developed online professional learning networks
This study investigates how final year pre-service teachers (PSTs) from several countries use social media to support their online professional learning network (PLN) activities. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, it uses a global survey and interview methods to generate fresh insights into PSTs’ informally-developed online PLN practices and their perceived benefits of these self-initiated activities. Findings uncover new understandings of contem…
Political participation under conditions of (democratic) duress
Drawing on Amartya Sen’s concept of agency and capability, this article explores political participation in three dimensions: individual dispositions, opportunities for participation, and processes of participation. It presents an analytical approach that examines these dimensions in relation to practices of participation as interactions between the State and citizens within and outside of political institutions. Two examples are used to illustra…

Understanding the symbolic capital of intercultural interactions
Intercultural interaction plays an important role in contributing to international students’ learning and wellbeing in the host country. While research on international students’ intercultural interactions reveals multifaceted aspects of personal and social factors, there is a tendency to consider language barrier and cultural differences as individual factors that constrain their interactions with the institutional community. Drawing on 105 inte…
International students in transnational mobility
International students’ connectedness with their peers, institutions and the broader community significantly affects their learning and wellbeing. It is important to understand their multiple desires for intercultural connectedness in order to nurture it. This paper analyses the motives and nature of international students’ intercultural connectedness. It is based on a study that includes more than 150 interviews and fieldwork with international …
Social structures in the economics of international education
Drawing on the findings from in-depth interviews with Vietnamese international students studying at Australian universities, this article presents insights into the sociological influences that stem from international students' social networks, at home and abroad, and how they impact on students' aspirations and engagement in international education. Underpinned by Bourdieu's social capital framework, this article critically challenges human capi…
