Description:

Throughout the world, new nations are struggling to emerge from sometimes repressive and violent pasts into more stable and hopeful futures.  The countries of Southeast Asia provide a rich tapestry of evolution and revolution for scholars to explore and analyze.  The region's physical and climatic contrasts, its ethnic and cultural diversities, the uneasy political alliances, all combine to ensure Southeast Asia's position as an eminently rewarding region for those captivated by emerging communities.  Whether they are humanists, legal experts or social scientists, Southeast Asia presents an unrivalled field of study. 

This book is the result of a CAPI-hosted conference, Communities in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Responses, held at the University of Victoria in October 2001.
