Overview
This International Masters programme in ASEAN Studies provides an advanced
level of understanding of the political, economic, social and cultural forces which
shape ASEAN as well as the attendant policy process in a range of issue areas.
It does so through a consideration of four aspects of ASEAN:
· To offer an analysis of the historical, social and cultural forces that
have shaped Southeast Asia as a macro-region in the world order
· To consider the contested nature of theoretical concepts-how the same
basic categories are understood in partially different ways in competing
theoretical approaches to regionalism and regionalization, and how
some concepts belong more to some theories than to others
· To assess the institutional arrangements, changing policy agenda and
governance issues of ASEAN in the contemporary period
· To compare the key characteristics of ASEAN with analogous
developments in regional associations elsewhere in the world
Objectives
The course aims to critically assess the significance of ASEAN as a regional project
in terms of theoretical, conceptual and empirical debates from a range of social
science disciplines. On completion of this programme, students should have:
· Arrived at an informed understanding of the need for concepts in
understanding ASEAN and explored these concepts in some detail
· Acquired knowledge of the context, institutional framework, issue
agenda and governance mechanisms of ASEAN and interpreted
several major issues associated with its contemporary development
in some detail
· Compared and evaluated ASEAN in the context of other regional and
global developments
· Developed key analytical, interpretative, written and oral presentational,
and practitioner skills
