About the project
CRISEA has the following objectives:
- To study the multiple forces affecting regional integration in Southeast Asia and the challenges they present to the peoples of SEA and its regional framework ASEAN
- To reach beyond academia to engage in public debate and impact on practitioners in government and non-government spheres
- To reinforce the European Research Area (ERA) through coordinated EU-ASEAN academic exchange and network development
WP3. The Economy: Competing Models and Practices of Capitalism
Participants: Professor Hege M. Knutsen, ISS, and postdoctoral fellow at SUM, Arve Hansen
The University of Malaya in collaboration with partners will study whether the ‘uneven development trap', ensnaring the labour force in precarious circulatory migration and undermining social stability, can erode SEA states' models of developmental capitalism and the regional integration model of ASEAN.
WP4. The State: Contesting Liberal Democracy
Participant: Professor Kristian Stokke, ISS
The University of Cambridge, the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, and partners will analyse the forces that nowadays contest the liberal State within and beyond the region, asking whether they herald a new era for SEA, where governance is openly legitimized by group interests that challenge the liberal values central to ASEAN's political model.
