<pre>This course will focus on the politics of three of the largest countries in<br />Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Our study of<br />these three countries will, in turn, focus on three major themes. First, we<br />will examine important features of the historical process of state formation<br />in each of the three countries, as well as modern patterns of state-society<br />relations. Second, we will analyze recurring tensions between authoritarian<br />and democratic forms of government throughout the postwar era, and the often<br />troubled processes of democratization experienced in the Philippines and<br />Thailand over the past two decades and in Indonesia over the past ten years.<br />Third, the course will focus on issues of central-regional relations:<br />decentralization, subnational variation in major patterns of politics, and<br />movements for regional autonomy and secession (particularly in Aceh,<br />southern Thailand, and Muslim Mindanao). </pre>
