the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University

7-13 November 2019
Hanoi, Vietnam

Throughout the world, economic growth often leads to both ecological degradation and inequality. Many countries have encountered the ruin of the ecological realm and various forms of inequality, e.g., unequal access to natural resources, unequal employment and education opportunities, as well as regional disparities, among others. Such predicaments have likewise been one of Southeast Asia’s most critical and urgent issues.
Vietnam is the site of this year’s Southeast Asian Seminar due to its uniqueness as, currently, one of the most economically-robust countries in the region that shifted from a socialist regime to a market-oriented economy. Amidst its rapid development in the last few decades, Vietnam has, in various ways, been attempting to ensure the well balance between growth, ecology, and equality. In this light, the seminar’s purpose is, therefore, to learn from Vietnam’s experiences of socio-economic transition in comparison to other cases in Southeast Asia.

The Southeast Asia Seminar has been held annually by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University since 1977. Organized thematically around a variety of topics, the seminar offers a seven-day of study tour of Vietnam with group discussions and presentations by the participants. This year, the Seminar will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The organizers are currently calling for applications from young and up-and-coming scholars mainly in Southeast and East Asia.
