SUMMARY:Minority Citizenship: Mobility, Religion, Gender and the State in Asian Context
LOCATION:REC A2.14
DESCRIPTION:The panel is titled ‘‘Minority Citizenship:  Mobility, Religion
 , Gender and the State in Asian Context’’. It delves into the examination o
 f citizenship regimes and the experiences of diverse minority groups, inclu
 ding those based on ethnicity, religion, and gender, within the Asian conte
 xt. The specific focus of this panel revolves around the minority citizensh
 ip of countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Taiwan. The pane
 l engages in an analysis of several case studies to explore the process by 
 which citizenship is constructed through legal frameworks, state institutio
 ns and other cultural elements. The primary objective of this panel is to d
 emonstrate that although citizens’ rights should be ensured and protected b
 y the state, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, and religion, minority 
 citizenship can be a complex issue due to the potential discrimination and 
 unequal treatment based on group affiliation and status within the state. T
 his thus gives rise to concerns regarding the living situations of minority
  groups within the political system, also prompting an intriguing examinati
 on of their approaches to pursuing inclusion and advocating for their polit
 ical and social demands in different contexts. All the presenters offer div
 erse case examples from various nations and time periods. Chontida examines
  the experiences of the Aceh Chinese community residing in Aceh under the j
 urisdiction of the Sharia law. She explores the influence of the Islamic le
 gal framework on the citizenship status of the Aceh Chinese, highlighting t
 he existing tensions between the local government, Muslims and non-Muslims 
 within Indonesia’s special autonomous area. Chitiphat analyzes the evolutio
 n of women’s societal roles in Thailand from the beginning of the first Nat
 ional Economic and Social Development Plan. The study investigates the incr
 eased inclusion of women within the national framework and identifies the p
 ersisting challenges faced by women in Thailand. Hu Ning explores how the M
 alaysian Chinese perform the Guan Gong belief within the Malaysian state an
 d underscores the value of the “Dynamic Interactions” theoretical framework
  in better comprehending the interaction of Chinese as a minority in Malays
 ia. Then, Jidapa focuses on the transnational marriage of Thai women in Tai
 wan. Not only does she explore the legality which constrains the rights of 
 Thai woman migrants, but she also investigates strategies and advocacy effo
 rts employed by Thai woman migrants to promote their rights and facilitate 
 their integration into Taiwanese society. Lastly, Laoera analyzes feminist 
 narratives in Indonesia by reassessing the identities and roles of Indonesi
 an women’s agency in Indonesia through the examination of Indonesian women’
 s discussion in the digital space, specifically Twitter.
