International Mechanisms Towards The Rohingya Crisis, Hakim Pongtigor
International Mechanisms Towards The Rohingya Crisis, Hakim Pongtigor
Asian Review
The Rohingya crisis is extremely complex and will be very difficult to resolve if the only solution to the problem is up to the Myanmar Government alone and the Rohingya people. This is because the crisis involves gross violations of humanitarian principles. Resolving this conflict demands the participation of members of the international community as the violations fall within the realm of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). International mediation may also be required to resolve the conflict. The R2P seems to be an effective mechanism to …
Rohingya In Thailand: Existing Social Protection In Dynamic Circumstances, Ankana Kaewkuekoonkit, Supang Chantavanich
Rohingya In Thailand: Existing Social Protection In Dynamic Circumstances, Ankana Kaewkuekoonkit, Supang Chantavanich
Asian Review
Rohingyas who have arrived Thailand with various motivations are vulnerable. They need legal and social protection and face the risk of being indefinitely arrested by Thai immigration. The purpose of this article is to identify existing protection mechanisms for the Rohingyas in Thailand by examining preventive, protective, promotive and transformative measures provided to them. Field research conducted in 2016 reveals that there are four main groups of Rohingya immigrants: those who arrived earlier than 2006, the recent arrivals during 2015-2016, Rohingya victims of human trafficking and Rohingya asylum seekers in temporary shelters. Each group has different access to protection based …

Peace In Abstract: Re-Integration Of Internally Displaced Persons In Northeastern Nigeria And Its Emerging Socio-Economic Challenges, Abiola Ruth Adimula
Peace In Abstract: Re-Integration Of Internally Displaced Persons In Northeastern Nigeria And Its Emerging Socio-Economic Challenges, Abiola Ruth Adimula
Asian Review
This study examines the challenges associated with the re-integration of internally displaced people in Boko Haram insurgency-ravaged Northeast Nigeria. It traces the root cause of socio-political and ethno-religious conflicts in Nigeria to 1914, when the British colonial administration merged the incompatible Protectorate of Northern Nigeria and the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria as one entity. After the return to democracy in 1999, the country witnessed growing insecurity, culminating in the growth of ethno-religious militias and separatist groups, including the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist sect, whose activities led to the deaths of many and the displacement of about two million …
A Morphology Of Liberalism, Development And Trusteeship: Some Implications For South East Asia, Trevor Parfitt
A Morphology Of Liberalism, Development And Trusteeship: Some Implications For South East Asia, Trevor Parfitt
Asian Review
This paper will apply Freeden's morphological approach to the analysis of liberalism and development to explore the centrality of trusteeship (as defi ned by Cowen and Shenton) in both modes of thought. There is an intellectual kinship between development as an idea and liberalism in that both emerged from a Western Enlightenment context that emphasized progress and the prospects for human development through the growing influence of rationalism and the application of scientific method to human endeavor. Both development thinking and liberalism bear the imprint of these influences, one of them being that of trusteeship. The morphological approach will be …

Urban Resilience And The Neo-Liberal Subject Of Climate Change In Thailand, Robert A. Farnan
Urban Resilience And The Neo-Liberal Subject Of Climate Change In Thailand, Robert A. Farnan
Asian Review
This paper analyses the ideology of resilience, as it is manifested in Thailand, through the relationship between urban climate change security and the neo-liberal subject. The neo-liberal project of resilience that is commonly advocated by ideologues and policy makers in response to catastrophic events, such as floods, has generated considerable debate in architectural and urban design circles but has largely failed to consider the ontology of vulnerability that underwrites neo-liberal notions of political responsibility and its attendant practices of (in)security. Although the literature in political ecology has fruitfully interrogated urban climate change resilience from the point of view of disaster …
The Bandung Ideology: Anti-Colonial Internationalism And Indonesia's Foreign Policy (1945-1965), Ahmad Rizky Mardhatillah Umar
The Bandung Ideology: Anti-Colonial Internationalism And Indonesia's Foreign Policy (1945-1965), Ahmad Rizky Mardhatillah Umar
Asian Review
In this paper, I introduce the concept of "anti-colonial internationalism" as the ideological source of Indonesia's foreign policy between 1945 and 1965. This concept has been neglected by international relations scholars in favor of the rival idea of "liberal internationalism." I argue that anti-colonial internationalism in Indonesia's foreign policy has been rooted in three aspects, namely 1) decolonial thought that was developed by Indonesian anti-colonial intellectuals in early 20th century, 2) the political thoughts of nationalist leaders and debates during the state formation process in 1945, and 3) the memory of the diplomatic struggle during the revolutionary era (1945-1955). The …
Awkwardly Included: Portugal And Indonesia's Politics Of Multi-Culturalism In East Timor, 1942 To The Early 1990s, Kisho Tsuchiya
Awkwardly Included: Portugal And Indonesia's Politics Of Multi-Culturalism In East Timor, 1942 To The Early 1990s, Kisho Tsuchiya
Asian Review
This article explores the history of East Timor from 1942 to the early 1990s, examining how ideological tolerance of racial and cultural diversity functioned as a state policy under Portuguese and Indonesian regimes to limit the appeal of separatist movements. The Portuguese policy shift towards multi-racialism in the middle of the 20th century reflected their experiences of Timorese hostility during the Pacific War and the rise of international anticolonialism in the post-war period. Portuguese multi-racialism (1951-74) justifi ed their "European" presence in Asia and Africa, and it resulted in the promotion of Portuguese citizenship among the Timorese. Th e Indonesian …
The Unbound Postcolonial Leviathan, Pranoto Iskandar
The Unbound Postcolonial Leviathan, Pranoto Iskandar
Asian Review
This paper discusses the overlooked dimension of the aboriginal discourse that serves as the genesis of Indonesia as a postcolonial state. More pointedly, it argues that the nationalist's appropriation of European romanticism should be seen as the last attempt of the local aristocracy to preserve their hegemony in the postcolonial order; post-coloniality does not necessarily mean positivity. In fact, in Indonesia's case, the repeated failure to embed liberal values is arguably a result of the half-hearted commitment to enlightenment values of the early nationalist intellectuals. Some of the early nationalist fi gures blatantly imbued the 1945 Constitution with pre-colonial feudalism. …
Is Islamofascism Even A Thing? The Case Of The Indonesian Islamic Defenders' Front (Fpi), Stephen Miller
Is Islamofascism Even A Thing? The Case Of The Indonesian Islamic Defenders' Front (Fpi), Stephen Miller
Asian Review
Although a term with roots going back to 1933, "Islamofascism" did not gain wide-spread use until the beginning of the 21st century. In the West the term has often been associated with conservative and far right-wing politics, giving it Islamophobic overtones. However, in Indonesia and other Muslim majority countries at times it can emerge in public discussion and debates as a rhetorical weapon of liberal intellectuals when discussing conservative and far right-wing "Islamist" organizations—although in Indonesia the more common term is "religious fascist." This paper examines theories of fascism built up in "Fascist Studies" (the so-called "New Consensus"), as well …

Property Tourism And The Facilitation Of Investment -Migration Mobility In Asia, Koh Sin Yee
Property Tourism And The Facilitation Of Investment -Migration Mobility In Asia, Koh Sin Yee
Asian Review
This paper examines the ways through which real estate developers and their agents facilitate the investment-migration mobility of middle-class investor-migrants in Asia. Drawing from ongoing research conducted in Brunei, Singapore and Iskandar Malaysia, this paper argues that the property marketing industry can be conceptualised as a transnational mobility industry. Th is is because this intermediary industry (1) exposes potential investor-migrants to the idea of transnational investment-migration; and (2) educates and facilitates the investment-migration of its clients and their capital, especially through the use of subtle marketing strategies such as social activities and exploratory property tours – what I call “property …
Japanese Fdi To Thailand: Mobility And Harmony, Saikaew Thipakorn
Japanese Fdi To Thailand: Mobility And Harmony, Saikaew Thipakorn
Asian Review
Japan has been the top investor in Thailand since the end of WWII. In 1972, following violent protests against Japanese investment, the Japanese government established the Japan Foundation as the main agency to take care of cultural diplomacy. Though under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japanese business community financially contributed to its establishment from the beginning. In addition, Japanese business in Th ailand continuously cooperated with the government in its cultural diplomatic activities. Th eir daily operation created an atmosphere for human exchange which led to understanding between peoples of different cultures. Japanese investment promoted the …
Encountering The New "Other": Domestic Tourism In Thailand, Jelka Günther
Encountering The New "Other": Domestic Tourism In Thailand, Jelka Günther
Asian Review
In Thailand, one of the world’s leading tourist destinations, Thais are no longer merely “hosts” to foreign tourists but also to their compatriots who have become tourists themselves. The rising significance of domestic tourism reveals the need to critically rethink notions of the familiar and the strange in tourism studies. Based on ethnographic fi eldwork in Northeastern Thailand, I argue that Othering is not limited to transnational host-guest-interactions. In the small town I studied domestic tourist encounters were similarly embedded in power relations, namely in the dominant discourses of urban-rural relations in contemporary Thailand. Nostalgic feelings have opened up the …
Literature In Transmigration: The Rama Story In Southeast Asia, Frederick B. Goss
Literature In Transmigration: The Rama Story In Southeast Asia, Frederick B. Goss
Asian Review
The story of Rama, known as Ramayana in the Indian subcontinent where it originated, has migrated and spread to nearly every culture and society in Asia. In each place the story has been introduced, it has been adopted, adapted and absorbed into the local culture. Given the universal themes in the tale, the basic outline of the story has shown a remarkable flexibility to be able to sustain change and adaption, both in interpretation and interpolation. This article examines and compares the presence of the Rama story in various cultures and societies of Southeast Asia, showing how the tradition has …

The Cultural Significance Of Buddha Representations From Bangkok In A Japanese Buddhist Historic Site: A Case Study Of Nittaiji Temple Of Japan, Vannaporn Phongpheng
The Cultural Significance Of Buddha Representations From Bangkok In A Japanese Buddhist Historic Site: A Case Study Of Nittaiji Temple Of Japan, Vannaporn Phongpheng
Asian Review
The image of Bangkok as a "Buddhist City" in Asian countries was propagated through the cultural diplomacy of King Chulalongkorn. In the case of Japan, Nittaiji Temple in Nagoya is the representative of a Thai-Japanese relationship developed from such a Buddhist idea. Much iconic Buddhist art was created to symbolically present Thai-Japanese Buddhist relations. Today, this temple is an iconic Buddhist attraction in Nagoya City because of the enshrinement of a Buddha image and Buddha relics given by the state of Thailand as well as because of the good management by Thailand and Japan to develop this relationship. This study …

Life During Wartime And Memories Of World War Ii In The Thai Novel, Chungking Sexpress, Hattakarn Areesilp
Life During Wartime And Memories Of World War Ii In The Thai Novel, Chungking Sexpress, Hattakarn Areesilp
Asian Review
This article aims to investigate the Thai novel entitled Chungking Sexpress by Anusorn Tipayanon in terms of its themes, the devices employed to present these themes and the role of the novel as a forum in which memories of the Second World War are presented. The study found that the main plot of puzzle-solving and the love triangle sub-plot that presents the lives of the characters during the Second World War are devices that the author chose to present the novel's themes: accepting a compromise with the demarcation of norms which dictate the way of life while still preserving one's …
The Sufficiency Economy Philosophy Beyond Thailand: Sustainable Development Challenges In A Neo-Liberal World, Justin John Shone
The Sufficiency Economy Philosophy Beyond Thailand: Sustainable Development Challenges In A Neo-Liberal World, Justin John Shone
Asian Review
The transition from socialism to state capitalism in the Lao PDR's socio-economic development has not as yet entirely resulted in the abandonment of the Suffi ciency Economy Philosophy (SEP)-like "ethically-based" development policies but today these policies struggle to gain traction alongside the confl icting conventional development polices of the very infl uential Lao PDR development partners. This research determined the positioning of the SEP and its application beyond Thailand in Lao PDR and involved a qualitative research methodology, included extensive literature reviews, direct observations, visits to SEP training centers and more than 70 semi-structured interviews. The research confirmed the international …

Asian Review
This study aims at investigating the similarities and differences between Thai and Japanese smiling facial expressions. The interview was conducted with Thai and Japanese participants. The results show that Thais tend to experience happiness in situations related to excitement and stability signifi cantly more than the Japanese, while the Japanese tend to experience happiness in situations related to relief and self-concept to a signifi cantly greater degree than Thais.

China's Economic Integration And New Chinese Migrants In The Mekong Region, Nguyen Van Chinh
China's Economic Integration And New Chinese Migrants In The Mekong Region, Nguyen Van Chinh
Asian Review
This paper is based on the findings from fieldwork conducted in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) in 2013 and 2014, and argues that the movement of new Chinese migration is an integral part of Chinas capital flow of investment, trade and economic aid. These four Mekong countries are ideally placed to receive Chinese migrants, because capital flow from China has steadily increased in line with the strengthening of ties between China and the CLMV countries, where new Chinese migrants can access the existing social networks created by the local ethnic Chinese. It is important for CLMV countries to establish …
