Main Article Content

Abstract

The latest issue of JATI addresses a number of areas of contemporary concern in South East Asia’s self understanding, anthropologically and historically, as well as in terms of its political and economic development. The contributions to this edition fall into three discrete but related areas of inquiry, namely: regional politics and the role played by political leaders; economic development and sustainability; and history and cultural heritage. These themes link to wider international scholarship concerning the role of culture, history and economics in the always anxious process of development, but also evince the contingencies encountered in the distinctive development of South East Asia.
