SIS Summer Abroad 2017: ASEAN

 This blog will serve as a way for you to learn about the experience and academic activities through the postings of the group of SIS graduate students who will be spending a few weeks in Malaysia and Indonesia as part of their graduate degree. This summer study abroad program, led by Professor Pek Koon Heng-Blackburn, will explore the ways in which globalization has impacted both state security and human security through direct interaction with stakeholders, examining the region’s evolving place in the East Asia international order and how globalization is affecting democratic consolidation, economic transformation, state-civil society relations, and fundamental changes in interactions across ethnic, religious, cultural, class and gender lines. Enjoy the blog and feel free to comment!
