Influence Of Hue Temple Architecture On The Thai Hoa Palace In The Royal Citadel, Angunthip Srisuwan, Pham Dang Nhat Thai
Asian Review
The historical city of Hue in central Vietnam retains the imprint of the Nguyen Era (1802-1945), when many temples were built and restored. This paper examines the influence of architectural features of the Thai Hoa Palace in the royal citadel on the main shrines of Hue temples. This study is based on field surveys of square-enclosure Khau ( ) temples in Hue city, which share similar styles of "double house, one foundation," "one poem, one-drawing," two-layered roof structures, and symbols of decorative motifs at the corner of the roof. The design of the royal palace closely followed the design of …
Achieving Access To Health For Mobile Populations Through Community Health Systems On The Thai-Myanmar Border, Cynthia Maung, Tara Russell
Achieving Access To Health For Mobile Populations Through Community Health Systems On The Thai-Myanmar Border, Cynthia Maung, Tara Russell
Asian Review
Over the past two decades, communities in the border areas of Tak Province, Thailand, and in neighboring districts of Myanmar, have established a primary healthcare system. Conflict, displacement and institutional neglect have left this region of Eastern Myanmar without functioning public health services. Forced displacement and statelessness excluded these same communities from health services in Thailand. This paper presents two short case studies that describe how the network prioritizes access to basic care at the village level, with ethnic and community organizations training village health workers to provide health education and to manage common diseases. More serious cases are referred …

Issues In The Thai Government's Policies On The Repatriation Of Refugees, Aungkana Kamonpetch
Asian Review
With the advent of reform in Myanmar, Thailand hopes to be able to repatriate the large number of displaced persons from Myanmar. However, a survey shows that most Myanmar displaced persons do not yet have enough confidence about their security after repatriation. This article sets out the conditions and framework under which planning for repatriation should proceed. A human rights approach is needed to protect the rights of refugees. At present, the human rights mechanisms within ASEAN are not strong enough, and ASEAN is reluctant to intervene in controversial bilateral issues. The key players are thus the respective governments and …
Failure Of Development Under Neoliberalism: Involution Of Migrant Towns In Thailand, Sustarum Thammaboosadee
Failure Of Development Under Neoliberalism: Involution Of Migrant Towns In Thailand, Sustarum Thammaboosadee
Asian Review
This articles demonstrate the unevenness of socioeconomic development under neoliberalism by utilizing the term "neoliberal involution." After Thailand shifted from import-substitution to export-orientation in the 1980s, industries need to achieve competitive low cost of production. In the decades since, an influx of migrant laborers has fulfilled this condition. Research in three different Thai provinces shows that migrant communities are subject to a process dubbed "neoliberal involution." First, migrant laborers are forced to accept high economic risks because of the low political power to negotiate in the labor market. Second, they are victims of social-disintegration in both their host and home …
Migration, Security And Development: Reflections On Integrating Migration Into Border Studies, Thanh-Dam Truong
Migration, Security And Development: Reflections On Integrating Migration Into Border Studies, Thanh-Dam Truong
Asian Review
Discerning the interfaces between migration studies and border studies in the globalizing process is necessary for interdisciplinary cooperation to achieve a productive integration of common concerns. Seeing the transformations of migration and of borders as a twin process would be helpful in building a unified approach to cross-border movements, their plural forms and contextual significance for border regions—both at the frontier as well as inside a society. A unified approach can help shed more light on the limitations of current practices of governance of cross-border movements. Processes of identities constructions and diverse experiences of human security among people on the …

"Reaching The Unreached": The Role Of Civil Society In Providing Access To Education For Migrant Children From Myanmar In Thailand, Kristine Stenbeck
Asian Review
In the last twenty years, the focus on human rights has only increased, resulting in a series of international and regional agreements for countries to take responsibility to improve their citizens' lives. Marginalization is often the result of political, social or cultural disparities, and the issue of human rights evolves into complex and diverse tendencies. Studies have been done to find obstacles in gaining equality; the issues have been recognized and acknowledged and awareness that the goal of Education for All cannot be achieved without collaboration between governments and non-governmental institutions has taken place. In 1990 the Thai government ratified …

A Comparative Study Between Japanese And Thai Rocket Festivals: Yoshida Ryusei Festival And Ban Pa-Aw Bang-Fai Rocket Festival, Chomnard Setisarn
A Comparative Study Between Japanese And Thai Rocket Festivals: Yoshida Ryusei Festival And Ban Pa-Aw Bang-Fai Rocket Festival, Chomnard Setisarn
Asian Review
Rocket festivals are found in many countries in Asia, including Thailand and Japan. This study examines the similarities and differences between the Yoshida Ryusei festival in Japan and Pa-Aw Bang-fai rocket festival in Thailand. The theoretical framework of this study is drawn from Tsuneo Sogawa's "Culture Complex of Sport" which focuses on three aspects, namely socio-cultural, technologicalcultural and spiritual-cultural. Rocket festivals from the two countries are similar in terms of the socio-cultural element because the two festivals are related to folk beliefs and have religious sites as their centers. However, the Japanese festival focuses on safety whilst the Thai festival …

Asean's Weak Role In Bilateral Dispute Settlement: The Case Of Preah Vihear (Phra Wihan), Gabriela Steinemann
Asean's Weak Role In Bilateral Dispute Settlement: The Case Of Preah Vihear (Phra Wihan), Gabriela Steinemann
Asian Review
This paper examines the role of ASEAN in the resolution of territorial conflicts between its member states. It studies the border dispute cases of Vietnam-Cambodia and Indonesia-Malaysia, before turning its focus to the Thai-Cambodian conflict over Preah Vihear (Phra Wihan). The domestic political contexts in both countries provided important reasons for the weak role ASEAN has been able to play. But the association's struggle to find a meaningful place in dispute settlement is not limited to Preah Vihear, and it will likely continue as long as member states are unwilling to make use of the mechanisms they once created. At …

Higher Education In Asean With Special Reference To Thailand, Chantal Herberholz, Pataporn Sukontamarn
Asian Review
This article compares higher education and the internationalization thereof in ASEAN, with special reference to Thailand. While the comparison of higher education in ASEAN uses secondary data, the situation of higher education in Thailand utilizes primary data obtained from in-depth interviews. The results show that higher education sectors in ASEAN member countries are extremely diverse. Most ASEAN countries are facing two major challenges though, namely to (i) increase tertiary enrolment and (ii) improve the quality of higher education, although the extent of quality concerns varies substantially within and across member countries. Fieldwork reveals large differences among different types of universities …

Improving The Human Capital Of Migrant Workers In Asean: A Case Study Of Thailand And Clm Countries, Montakarn Chimmamee, Patcharawalai Wongboonsin
Asian Review
Southeast Asia is strategically positioning itself to meet the challenge of the global economy in the 21st century. During recent years, most Southeast Asian countries have been provided with a potential demographic dividend. However, the dominating strategies in labor migration management have not reaped the potential benefits from this potentiality. Thailand is a major receiving country of migrant workers, particularly from Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. How to manage migration to improve the productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of Thailand and its neighboring countries? This study examines demographic changes in Thailand and its neighbors, identifies new trends in the scale and pattern …

Asian Review
This article discusses the trends toward populations aging in ASEAN and their challenges. It also assesses programs conducted under the Second National Plan for Older Persons in Thailand to extract lessons for policy formulation and development programs responding to population aging in other ASEAN countries. This assessment is based on findings from the project on Monitoring and Evaluation of the Second National Plan for Older Persons (2002-2021). The lessons learnt from Thailand seem to indicate that it is necessary for each ASEAN country to have concrete long-term plans for their elder populations.

Religions And Religious Movements In Nation-Making In Asean, Udomporn Teeraviriyakul
Asian Review
Southeast Asia has nurtured the great world religious traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. These religions, and many more beliefs, coexist in peace and harmony. Religions were not brought with the sword, but adopted in association with the expansion of trade. These religions empowered elite leaders to rule their states and kingdoms during the pre-colonial period. Since the coming of western imperialism, modernization became a n ew standard for transforming Southeast Asian society to fit a new global cultural paradigm. This article examines the role and importance of religions and religious movements in Southeast Asia, and ways in which …

Cultural Commercialization To Keep Indigenous Cultures Alive In Ifugao Society, The Philippines, Anniken Renslo Sandvik
Asian Review
This paper argues that commercialization of indigenous cultures may contribute to their continued survival. This is based on the findings from a case study in Ifugao, Philippines. Because of various factors like the conversion to Christianity, the adaptation of national systems of government and education, and the introduction of international mass media, the indigenous Ifugao cultural practices are vanishing. In an attempt to revive these practices, the municipal and provincial governments in Ifugao are arranging annual festivals showcasing indigenous culture. In this process Ifugao culture is commercialized, as the indigenous practices are being performed out of their original contexts as …

Asean And The South China Sea Disputes: The Search For Peace And Stability Through Security Cooperation, Alessio Fratticcioli
Asian Review
The South China Sea has sea lanes of global significance, rich fishing grounds, and potentially vast oil and gas reserves. ASEAN members arc in conflict over Chinas claims in the area, but are working towards a binding code of conduct. Unity within ASEAN and continued diplomatic efforts will be essential to preventing disputes leading to armed conflict. By solving its internal inconsistencies and achieving stability, ASEAN will be able to promote its centrality in the region's security architecture as well as its importance in the global arena.

Scenarios Of Gloregionalization And Post-Globalization In The Beginning Of The 21st Century: The Bric Forum, Juan Gonzalez Garcia
Asian Review
The BRIC Forum (Brazil, Russia, India and China) has projected itself from a simple term that groups together a series of countries that share the quality of having emerging economies, to a category of analysis used in order to comprehend an actor in economic and political international relations that can generate a counterbalance to the unipolar structure under the hegemony of the United States. The new facets of globalization and regionalism have boosted a series of centripetal forces that shake the foundations of the old world order inherited during the post-Cold War era, threatening to shape new spaces of cooperation, …
