Although Southeast Asia has come late to this field, a growing number of studies over the past decade have demonstrated that this region is no exce ption to this global trend. These have shown how, from the late nineteenth century, Western competitive sport helped to reinforce the ideological proj ects of colonizing Euro-American powers and modernizing elites. Likewise, f ollowing the Second World War and during the era of independence, national leaders and elites embraced and adapted sports practices and ideologies to promote their visions of postcolonial nation-building and development. Whil e these figures came from across the political spectrum—left, right and neu tralist, military and civilian—they shared a common concern with promoting sport domestically and hosting major regional events—such as the Asian Game s, South East Asia Peninsular/Southeast Asian (SEAP/SEA) Games and the Game s of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO)—in order to develop modern nations an d boost national prestige. These processes encountered many obstacles, expe rienced wildly differing levels of success and were profoundly shaped—and, indeed, helped to shape—class, gender, colonial and racial relations.\n\nIn taking stock of and building on these developments in the field, this pane l seeks to enhance understanding of the social, cultural and political impa ct of sport in twentieth-century Southeast Asia. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and other scholars are invited to sub mit proposals related but not limited to the following subfields:\n\nSport and the state\nSport and nationalism\nSport, modernity and development\nSpo rt and colonial rule\nSport and colonial/postcolonial identity\nSport, arch itecture and urban transformation\nThe politics of regional sport mega-even ts (Asian Games, SEA Games, GANEFO, etc.)\nSport and diplomacy\nSport, gend er and power\n\nAuthors are encouraged to engage paradigms in both sports s tudies and Southeast Asian studies, including the growing literature that s eeks to combine these fields, as well as to conceptualize sport in the cont ext of Southeast Asia and beyond.
