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 Southeast Asian 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.
