Rice security in Southeast Asia: Beggar thy neighbor or cooperation
High commodity prices in 2007–2008 and again in 2011, particularly for crops such as rice and corn, have forced countries in Southeast Asia to look more closely at their agricultural and trade policies for rice and grains. While all countries in the region are heavily dependent on rice for food security, there is significant variation in countries’ abilities to be self-sufficient in rice production. This paper examines the factors that contribute…
Progress and Caution: Indonesia's Democracy
Indonesians have political power, freedom of voice, and an array of civil and political rights that fifteen years ago would have been unimaginable. It is undeniable how much positive change has occurred in such a short amount of time. Indonesia's experience, like other countries in Asia, serves as an example of both the successes in democratization and the difficulties and challenges in consolidating democracy. This article looks at the status of…
Civil Society, Moderate Islam, and Politics in Indonesia and Malaysia
What role do moderate Islamic organizations play in promoting democratization in Malaysia and Indonesia? What is the difference between large, grassroots organizations and newer more urban-based non-governmental organization (NGOs)? Is one type of organization more effective than the other? This paper looks at the changing dynamics of moderate or progressive Islamic organizations in Malaysia and Indonesia. It examines organizations such as the Li…
Political Viability, Contestation and Power: Islam and Politics in Indonesia and Malaysia
This article explores the impact of Muslim organizations and Muslim political parties in Indonesia and Malaysia and their relationship to democracy. Questions addressed are as follows: How does the political system (broadly described) facilitate or constrain the goals of various Muslim organizations (both groups in society and political parties)? What roles do these Muslim organizations play in impacting politics and where (or in what areas of) i…
Consolidation or Withering Away of Democracy? Political Changes in Thailand and Indonesia
After 1997, Thailand and Indonesia experienced dramatic political change. Indonesia is now on its fourth post-Suharto president, the constitution was changed, new political parties formed, the military's role in politics shrunk, and local governments have greater control and authority. In Thailand, a new constitution was ratified in the wake of the financial crisis and a new party took control in 2001. However, former Prime Minister Thaksin acted…
Political Change and Consolidation: Democracy's Rocky Road in Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and Malaysia
This book explores the varying reactions to the political turmoil in Asia in the late 1990s by looking at external pressures from global actors (the IMF and US security policy), popular protests, the
Contingent States: Greater China and Transnational Relations
Contingent States: Greater China and Transnational Relations. By William A. Callahan. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2004. 297p. $68.95 cloth, $22.95 paper. International relations scholarship has moved beyond debates between realists and liberals, yet much of the literature on the growth of Chinese power, or on China's regional and global interests, reflects theories of balance of power or peace through trade and engagement. Many of…
Thailand's Missed Opportunity for Democratic Consolidation
The year 1997 was critical for Thailand. A severe economic crisis hit in July calling into question years of economic growth and increasing prosperity. A few months later Thailand adopted a new Constitution that aimed at reforming the political system, and at making corruption and vote buying less prevalent. While this article shows that the economic turmoil was a prime catalyst for political change, it was not as simple as saying that public out…

Political Institutions and Ethnic Chinese Identity in Indonesia
Under Suharto, Indonesian politics and institutions attempted to force ethnic Chinese to assimilate, while continuing to identify them as 'different' from indigenous Indonesian groups. Yet Suharto's downfall brought with it a myriad of political changes. New political parties quickly formed, some of which were ethnically based or were pointedly created to promote ethnic cooperation. New laws were enacted to allow Chinese to revert to Chinese fami…
The Effect of Government Policy and Institutions on Chinese Overseas Acculturation: The Case of Malaysia
This work looks at how Malaysia's political institutions and policies have constrained Chinese acculturation with the dominant Malay population. Particular attention is paid to the nature of electoral institutions; such as the ethnic party structure, the apportionment of electoral districts, and the debate over Malaysia's education system. These political institutions, and not just the coercive apparatus of the state, coupled with the way the Con…
