Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS) aims to promote excellent, agenda-setting scholarship and provide a forum for dialog and
collaboration both within and beyond the
region. Published three times a year, SEAS engages in wide-ranging and in-depth discussions that are attuned to
the issues, debates and imperatives within the
region, while affirming the importance of
learning and sharing ideas on cross-country, regional, global and historical scales. An integral part of the journal’s
mandate is to promote scholarship that expands the interface between social
sciences, the humanities and the natural sciences. To this end, the journal
welcomes accessibly written articles that build on insights from cutting-edge research
in the natural sciences. Since its first publication in 1963, the
bilingual quarterly SoutheastAsian Studies, Kyoto University has reflected the Center for
Southeast
Asian Studies’ strong commitment to publishing
the best of empirically grounded, multidisciplinary, theoretically engaged, and
contemporary research on Southeast Asia and related areas. In 2012, we
re-launched
Southeast Asian Studies as an English journal, published alongside its
Japanese sister journal Tonan
Ajia Kenkyu.
