Research Projects

Over the past thirty-plus years, I have embarked on a series of research projects focused on diverse aspects of politics within and beyond Southeast Asia. Perhaps I have been something of a hit-and-run driver, moving from one country and/or topic to the next without stopping or even looking in my rear-view mirror. There is clearly the danger of spreading myself too thin.

 

But there are some abiding or recurring interests, and I have tried to bring to fruition each one of my major research interests in a book-length study, as I still hope to do on a number of fronts. At least I keep learning. In any event, you can see something of my work on a succession of research projects by clicking on these links:
