Research Interests

I have worked on East Asian regionalization, the military and politics in Indonesia, and comparative state formations in Southeast Asia. Recent publications on the questions include: Umi no Teikoku (literally "maritime empires, " meant to discuss the making of East Asia) (Tokyo: Chuokoron, 2000), awarded Yomiuri Yoshino-Sakuzo Award in 2000; "Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite: January 1, 1999-January 31, 2001" (Indonesia, No.71, April 2001); Hantu Digul (literally Phantoms of Digul) (Yogyakarta: LKiS, 2001).

I am currently working on two questions simultaneously for book length projects. One is the social, political and cultural significance of the rise of the middle class as a social formation in East Asia in the past 15 years; the other is the question of the Comintern Network headquartered in Shanghai, in the form of the Comintern Far Eastern Bureau, which involved such people as Hilaire Noullens, Richard Zorge, Ho Chi Minh, Tan Malaka, and Le Franc.

Current research topics:

(1) The middle class in East Asia
(2) The Comintern Far Eastern Bureau
