Course 7.5 credits • COSB40
Study Contemporary Southeast Asia in Lund! In this course we explore the most pressing issues defining contemporary politics and society in this dynamic and diverse region.
Teaching – autumn semester of 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our courses and programmes. Teaching and assessment during the first half of the autumn semester 2021 will be conducted both online and on campus. From 1 November more elements will be conducted on campus – the current schedule is available on course websites and/or in Canvas.
The course focuses on key questions that engage and shape contemporary Southeast Asia. It explores democratic, authoritarian, and populist trends and dynamics. You will be equipped to analyse and discuss the role of digital media, social movements and civil society, human rights, environmental issues, and land rights in the region. While the focus is on providing a deep understanding of regional developments, we also assess these in their global context.
