Eine Bedrohung ist für sie dann “sekuritisiert” worden, wenn diese von der Lobby-Gruppe der Allgemeinheit oder einer bestimmten (betroffenen) Gruppe erfolgreich als existenziell gefährlich präsentiert wurde, zu deren Bewältigung es rascher Maβnahmen ausserhalb der angestammten politischen Prozesse bedarf – allerdings, dies ist ein zentraler Punkt, innerhalb der angestammten staatlichen Strukturen, mit der Regierung als dominanter Akteurin. keywords: als; auf; bedrohung; das; der; des; die; eine; ist; mit; nicht; oder; sie; und; von; wie cache: aseas-2439.pdf plain text: aseas-2439.txt item: #11 of 376 id: aseas-2440 author: Stange, Gunnar; Sakdapolrak, Patrick title: Forced Migration in Southeast Asia date: 2018 words: 1746 flesch: 50 summary: Thus far, we know little about the current state of refugees and internally dis- placed persons in Southeast Asia, and we have only estimations on the actual number of people that migrate involuntarily to or within the region.

Making Refugees (Dis)Appear This announcement by an RCO interestingly reveals the UNHCR’s governmen- tal compulsion to rationalize information on refugee populations, which in turn underpins a program for fixing these populations to particular places. keywords: asylum; asylum seekers; authorities; border; consortium; international; malaysia; ngos; refugees; registration; seekers; state; thai; unhcr cache: aseas-2442.pdf plain text: aseas-2442.txt item: #14 of 376 id: aseas-2443 author: Missbach, Antje; Adiputera, Yunizar; Prabandari, Atin title: Is Makassar a ‘Sanctuary City’?

In this context, local governments (pemerintah daerah) are given, to a certain extent, both authority and responsibility caring for refugees in their jurisdictions. keywords: asylum; asylum seekers; cities; city; government; indonesia; international; iom; makassar; management; migration; missbach; national; protection; refugees; sanctuary; seekers; turn cache: aseas-2443.pdf plain text: aseas-2443.txt item: #15 of 376 id: aseas-2444 author: Seise, Claudia title: Women Remembering the Prophet’s Birthday: Maulid Celebrations and Religious Emotions Among the Alawiyin Community in Palembang, Indonesia date: 2018 words: 7793 flesch: 57 summary: Women remembering the Prophet’s birthday: Maulid celebrations and religious emotions among the Alawiyin community in Palembang, Indonesia.

Timorese women accepted that the struggle for women’s rights established in the early 1970s was not possible during their long war, but the struggle depended upon women’s substantial contributions and sacrifices therefore creating a pool of highly skilled and motivated women who no longer accepted the status quo. keywords: conference; gender; leste; national; timor; timorese; violence; women cache: aseas-2679.pdf plain text: aseas-2679.txt item: #249 of 376 id: aseas-2680 author: Einzenberger, Rainer; Schaffar, Wolfram title: The Political Economy of New Authoritarianism in Southeast Asia date: 2018 words: 6088 flesch: 51 summary: How can we analyze the social base of new authoritarian regimes?

When looking at household indebtedness in rural Vietnam, one study has noted a high incidence of indebtedness in the period between 2007 and 2011 such that up to 76% of Vietnamese households had taken out at least one loan, and the trend of tak- ing out multiple loans rose steadily and peaked in 2011 (Chichaibelu & Waibel, 2018). keywords: borrowing; capital; consumption; credit; debt; economic; economy; household; income; indebtedness; journal; new; nguyen; ratio; social; transition; vietnam; vietnamese; vuong cache: aseas-2905.pdf plain text: aseas-2905.txt item: #266 of 376 id: aseas-2911 author: Hrubý, Jakub; Petrů, Tomáš title: China’s cultural diplomacy in Malaysia during Najib Razak’s premiership date: 2019 words: 10658 flesch: 54 summary: While many aspects of China’s engagement with Southeast Asia have received scholarly attention, Chinese cultural diplomacy has only been partially researched, often within the scope of a wider overview of its public diplomacy (d’Hooghe, 2015; Kornphanat, 2016; Shambaugh, 2013; Shuto, 2018). A detailed analysis of the Malaysian case reveals an intricate pattern of involve- ment of various actors, both Chinese and local, state, semi-state, and non-state, pursuing their own interests, which tend to converge and overlap with the aims of Chinese cultural diplomacy, forming a synergy that helps to promote a positive image of present-day China in Malaysia. keywords: actors; china; chinese; cultural; culture; diplomacy; government; institute; international; malacca; malaysia; new; power; prc; public; relations; state; university; zheng cache: aseas-2911.pdf plain text: aseas-2911.txt item: #267 of 376 id: aseas-2912 author: Chan, Ralph; Makalintal, Joshua title: Book Review: Werning, R. & Schwieger, J.

However, unlike neighboring countries like Singapore, where migrant workers were confined to their workplaces, refugees in Malaysia are much more spread out and not easily confined to specific locations, except for those who have been detained in immigration detention.1 This became a national issue for Rohingya refugees because an early COVID cluster was detected as part of an Islamic missionary group Tablighi Jamaat mass gathering, which many Rohingya from across peninsular Malaysia had attended.2 The gather- ing at Sri Petaling Mosque in Kuala Lumpur from 27 February until 1 March 2020 involved 16,000 attendees comprising Malaysians, visitors from 27 countries, as well as migrants and refugees residing in Malaysia, and quickly became the country’s larg- est COVID-19 infection cluster (Malaysiakini, 2020). keywords: aseas; authorities; covid-19; foreigners; government; health; hoffstaedter; immigration; malaysia; market; media; migrants; myanmar; peninsular; public; refugees; rohingya; rohingya refugees; securitization; state; surveillance; unhcr; workers cache: aseas-7687.pdf plain text: aseas-7687.txt item: #339 of 376 id: aseas-7703 author: Einzenberger, Rainer title: Book Review: Yamahata, C., & Anderson, B.

IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY MAKING The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted – at least temporarily – in more restrictive immigration processes, disrupted translocality, and related hardships. Third, there is still lit- tle detailed empirical knowledge about the different ways in which the pandemic affects translocal social livelihood systems around the world, albeit there is growing evidence that it does so. keywords: adaptation; climate; covid-19; households; livelihoods; migrants; migration; origin; places; resilience; risks; sakdapolrak; systems; workers cache: aseas-8078.pdf plain text: aseas-8078.txt item: #349 of 376 id: aseas-8137 author: Käkönen, Mira title: Entangled Enclaves: Dams, Volatile Rivers, and Chinese Infrastructural Engagement in Cambodia date: 2023 words: 14120 flesch: 50 summary: Entanglements with the Larger Complex of Bilateral (Infrastructural) Affairs While Chinese dams in Cambodia are disentangled from multipurpose basin man- agement schemes such as those fostered by the Mekong River Commission, they share this characteristic with other concessionary projects in the region.
