The new scholarship represented by this volume demonstrates that the vast and growing maritime interactions between the countries of eastern Asia have long historical roots."

" This paper proposes an approach in Southeast Asian studies using a post-colonial framework in the study of post-colonial Southeast Asia. This framework is based on the sociology of knowledge that analyzes the dialectical relationship between science, ideology, and discourse. Post-colonial studies is critical of the concept of universality in science and posits that a scientific statement of a society cannot stand alone, but is made by authors themselves who produce, use, and claim the so-called scientific statement. Several concepts in post-colonial theories can be used to develop area studies, i.e. colonial discourse, subaltern, mimicry, and hybridity. Therefore, this study also explores these concepts to develop a more comprehensive understanding of Southeast Asian culture. The development of post-colonial theories can be used to respond to the hegemony of social theories from Europe and the United States. The main contribution of area studies in the field of the social sciences and humanities is in revealing the hidden interests behind the universal social sciences."

" This paper reflects on the relationship between postcolonial criticism (PC) and Southeast Asian Studies. The emphasis is on the apparent premature retreat from PC as well as its unfulfilled promises and persistent pitfalls. I argue that it is premature to abandon PC because it remains relevant, even essential, in the context of the much ballyhooed age of “knowledge economy” or “information society.” There is a need to take another look at its promises and to work towards fulfilling them, but at the same time be consciousof its persistent problems."

"Jepang sejak pasca Perang Dunia dikenal sebagai negara pasifis. Hal ini terkait Pasal 9 Konstitusi Jepang yang menjadi dasar identitas Jepang. Kebijakan luar negeri Jepang tampak berfokus pada instrumen dan kebijakan ekonomi dalam mencapai kepentingan nasional. Semenjak Shinzo Abe menjabat sebagai Perdana Menteri di tahun 2012, literatur dan media menyoroti perubahan dalam kebijakan luar negeri Jepang yang diawali oleh pengajuan revisi Abe terhadap Pasal 9 sebagai tonggak identitas Jepang. Selain itu, kepemimpinannya turut disoroti sebagai Perdana Menteri dengan masa jabat terlama di Jepang. Untuk menelaah dinamika kebijakan luar negeri Jepang di era kedua Abe, tulisan ini memetakan 44 literatur dalam bentuk artikel jurnal dengan metode taksonomi yang dikategorisasikan ke lima tema utama, yaitu (1) elemen domestik dalam kebijakan luar negeri, (2) hubungan luar negeri Jepang, (3) isu keamanan dalam kebijakan luar negeri Jepang, (4) isu ekonomi dalam kebijakan luar negeri Jepang, dan (5) isu sosial budaya dalam kebijakan luar negeri Jepang. Dari tinjauan kelima tema utama ini, penulis memetakan konsensus, perdebatan, refleksi, dan sintesis untuk menelaah dan memaknai temuan dari persebaran literatur. Literatur-literatur utamanya memperlihatkan kontra terhadap pandangan negatif media massa dan literatur lainnya terhadap Jepang di era kepemimpinan Shinzo Abe. Penulis menemukan bahwa dinamika perubahan yang terjadi dalam kebijakan luar negeri Jepang di era Abe pada periode 2012-2020 dapat dijelaskan oleh faktor geopolitik dan signifikansi Abe sebagai pemimpin negara yang terletak pada peran pengatur proses pembentukan kebijakan luar negeri dalam politik domestik Jepang. Dari temuan tersebut, tulisan ini merekomendasikan beberapa analisis lanjutan dan pentingnya untuk tidak terfokus hanya pada unit analisis struktur ataupun individu, tetapi faktor domestik menjadi signifikan pula untuk dieksplorasi dalam analisis kebijakan luar negeri.

Japan has been known as a pacifist country since the post-World War II period, largely due to Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which serves as the foundation of Japan's identity. Japan's foreign policy appears to prioritize economic instruments and policies to pursue national interests. Since Shinzo Abe assumed the position of Prime Minister in 2012, literature and media have highlighted changes in Japan's foreign policy, initiated by Abe's proposal to revise Article 9 as a cornerstone of Japan's identity. Additionally, his leadership has been noted for being the longest-serving Prime Minister in Japan. To examine the dynamics of Japan's foreign policy in Abe's second era, this paper maps 44 literature pieces in the form of journal articles, using a taxonomy method categorized into five main themes: (1) domestic elements in foreign policy, (2) Japan's foreign relations, (3) security issues in Japan's foreign policy, (4) economic issues in Japan's foreign policy, and (5) socio-cultural issues in Japan's foreign policy. From the review of these five main themes, the author identifies consensus, debates, reflections, and syntheses to analyze and interpret the findings from the distribution of literature. The main literature shows contrasting views against the negative perceptions of mass media and other literature towards Japan during Shinzo Abe's leadership. The author finds that the dynamics of change in Japan's foreign policy during Abe's era from 2012 to 2020 can be explained by geopolitical factors and Abe's significance as a leader shaping foreign policy processes in Japan's domestic politics. Based on these findings, this paper recommends several further analyses and emphasizes the importance of not solely focusing on structural or individual units of analysis, but also exploring domestic factors in foreign policy analysis."
