SUMMARY:Postwar Violence, Cultural Diplomacy and Decolonization in Regional Southeast Asia: A Revisit
LOCATION:REC A2.04
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this panel is bring together and theorize themes tha
 t have long been the focus of separate, unconnected research on Southeast A
 sia. Existing studies have explored how issues such as state and social vio
 lence, international cultural diplomacy and decolonization have both shaped
  post-war Southeast Asian society. This panel will revisit this existing sc
 holarly trajectory of studies on these issues and point to possible new dir
 ections. A region of immense ethnic and cultural diversity, Southeast Asia 
 has been regarded by international communities as relatively peaceful. The 
 depiction is somewhat misleading. In the first thirty years since the end o
 f the Second World War, state and social acts of violence have constantly c
 haracterized the domestic process of nation-state formation in Southeast As
 ia. Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Philippines were obvious cases. O
 n the other hand, countries in the region were actively involved in promoti
 ng peaceful international relations through cultural diplomacy, and so doin
 g they moved away from the dark experience of colonial pasts. Hence, post-W
 W II Southeast Asia sustained ambivalence in domestic and international aff
 airs. This panel will tease out these themes in comparative perspective acr
 oss the panelists’ contributions.
