Scenes from Fieldwork in Southeast Asia
This series introduces the Center’s research projects financially supported by Grant-in-Aids for Scientific Research, the Japanese
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
Molecular Epidemiological Study on Emerging Enteric Infections in Asia
Infectious diarrheas are becoming important issues in Southeast Asia and surrounding areas. These infections are caused by the
consumption of water or seafood contaminated by newly emerged bacterial pathogens in aquatic environments. The questions tobe answered by our study included where and how the pathogens emerged, how the diseases were spread, and what were theunique features of the infections. Through international collaborative investigations in various Asian countries, we isolated
pathogens from environmental samples (seafood and water) and clinical samples (patient stools and rectal swabs) in our
preceding project (1999ῌ2001) and this project (2002ῌ04). We analyzed the isolated strains using molecular genetic techniques
to answer these questions in this project.
We demonstrated prevalent infections caused by the newly emerged pandemic clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Asian
countries from 1995 and its subsequent spread to the other parts of the world. We also isolated pandemic strains frommolluscan shellfish (clams and mussels) and established their epidemiological relationship with clinical strains in southern
Thailand. We successfully isolated the newly emerged agent of epidemic cholera (serotype O139) as well as the classical cholera
agent (serotype O1) from prawn and other seafood in Malaysia. Our data suggests that the Malaysian O139 strains wereintroduced from the Bengal area on two separate occasions, whereas the clone of the serotype O1 group has persisted in
Malaysia-Thailand-Laos aquatic environments for a long time.
Area Informatics Approach for Urban and Historical Studies
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Kyoto University is working to create and foster the new discipline of Area
Informatics and to that end has started a new 5-year project on the “Development of Area Informatics.” One core study in the
project is “The Thang LongῌHanoi and Ayutthaya-Sukhothai project on the preservation of historical heritage,” which explores
urban formation and transfiguration by comparing historical maps, aerial photos, and satellite images using GIS (Geographical
Information System) and RS (Remote Sensing) technologies. There is much to be learned about historical urban development,
land use transition, and geographical features, some of which can be seen in these recent project photos.

PREFACE
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) reached its 40th anniversary this year and willcelebrate it this autumn on October 28. Since its official inauguration in 1965, CSEAS has carried out basic
research on Southeast Asia with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary research, wide-ranging fieldwork, and joint
studies of various types and scales in collaboration with Japanese and foreign researchers and institutions. In
commemoration of this tradition, this report, the fourteenth in the series, is published as a special issuecelebrating our 40th anniversary.
As I mentioned in the last report, all national universities in Japan were reformed into autonomous andindependent legal bodies in April 2004. In accordance with this reform, many changes have taken place inadministrative structures and academic activities. The most significant change is that every institution has
begun to put more enthusiasm into publicizing and advertising its academic activities and achievements, fromthe level of the individual researcher to the university as a whole. Under these more competitive circumstances, CSEAS is also developing its ability to publicize its academic activities; this report is one such trial.
Since the publication of the last issue, CSEAS experienced a big change in official designation thatbrought a change in the Japanese name of the institution. In April 2004, the Center became the “Institute forSoutheast Asian Studies” in Japanese. But although our administrative status changed to Institute, we
decided to maintain the name “Center for Southeast Asian Studies,” along with the acronym CSEAS, in all
non-Japanese contexts in order to maintain continuity in the international academic arena. And although theinstitutional name has changed, the Center must continue to pursue research through fieldwork on contemporary issues of Southeast Asia and to play a role as a national base for area studies. In view of this urgent
need, and taking the opportunity of our 40th anniversary, I would like to invite all of you again to provide us
with ever closer collaboration so we will be able to meet the requirements of a Center of Excellence in the fieldof area studies.
Any comments or suggestions about our academic activities or the contents of this report in general
would be greatly appreciated.

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
Relations between Southeast Asia and Japan are growing increasingly close and diversified as a result of
the dramatic political realignment and global economic integration of recent years. These changes bring freshchallenges, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, continuously renewing itself as a Center of Excellencein Area Studies, believes that integrated endeavors based on solid academic research can play a central rolein developing new paradigms for the twenty-first century. The strength of the Center lies in its multidisciplinary orientation, especially the inclusion of staff in the natural sciences as well as the humanities andsocial sciences. Since its establishment in 1965, the Center has carried out its activities using a comprehensive
approach to investigate the contemporary and historical dimensions of problems confronting present-day
Southeast Asia through original research. Proceeding from these guiding principles, our current researchmethodology can be described as an integrated area studies method based on informed knowledge of the fieldthat aims to create new perspectives on this dynamic region of Asia.
Area studies, by definition, requires international efforts. The Center has a liaison office in Bangkok anda residence in Jakarta to extend its service to local scholars. The presence of foreign visiting scholars in Kyoto
and Memoranda of Understanding with some of our institutional counterparts in Southeast Asia have also
helped expand our international presence.
CSEAS publishes the quarterly journal Southeast Asian Studies, to which the Center’s research staff aswell as visiting and outside scholars have contributed. Published since 1963, the journal’s 172nd issue recently
appeared. The Center also publishes two research monograph series in both English and Japanese:
Monographs of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies and Kyoto Area Studies on Asia. Both series wereoriginally authored primarily by Center staff but are now open to outside contributors. In 2002, the Centerlaunched the Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia, an innovative, multi-lingual internet review of Southeast Asianscholarship and affairs.
The CSEAS Library supports the academic activities of both Center and outside researchers with one of
the largest and best collections on Southeast Asian area studies in Japan. The Library’s holdings of over
150,000 volumes include an increasing number in the languages of Southeast Asia and various special
collections.
The history of CSEAS predates its official establishment as a branch of the University. In the spring of
l959, a group of scholars in Kyoto met to discuss the feasibility of holding informal seminars on various
aspects of Southeast Asian culture and society. This resulted in monthly seminars which gradually attracted
an increasing number of faculty members and postgraduate students from universities in and around Kyoto.
Eventually the enthusiastic participants in the seminars turned to the possibility of organizing the informal
gathering into a more institutionalized forum.
A preparatory committee was formed in l961 to organize a systematic program of Southeast Asianstudies, including natural sciences, which were neglected in most area studies programs in Western universities and research institutes. These developments culminated in the creation of CSEAS in January 1963
on the campus of Kyoto University as a semi-official body for coordinating Southeast Asian studies.
The newly organized Center lost no time in launching a joint research project with special emphasis on
Thailand and Malaysia. Researchers went to these two countries to conduct fieldwork ranging from detailed
community studies by anthropologists to investigations of tropical forests, paddy soils, and agricultural
techniques by natural scientists. It was to facilitate these field activities that the liaison office was opened in
Bangkok in October 1963, which has since been staffed by representatives of the Center. A residence in2The Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University made a fresh start in April 2004 as a
Research Institute attached to Kyoto University. The ceremony to unveil the new sign, “Tonan Ajia
Kenkyusho” was held on 2 April, 2004, with the presence of the president of Kyoto University.

Jakarta has been similarly staffed since l970. Funding for fieldwork in these early years came primarily fromprivate sources, including a research grant from the Ford Foundation and a domestic fund raised by
supporters of the Center.
The results of the Center’s research programs in its inceptive stage were so promising that thethen-named Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (Monbusho) decided to grant it formal status inorder to foster its area studies program. Thus, in April 1965, the Center was reorganized as a “research
center” with posts for four full-time staff members, the first such center to be created at Kyoto University.
New research sections were subsequently added as research programs expanded. By April l984, the Center
had grown to encompass nine research sections covering the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
In May 1989, these nine sections were reorganized into five larger divisions, including new chairs for medical
science, in order to pursue more interactive and integrated area studies.
In 2001, the Center restructured itself into a Research Department of four divisions and three sections
for visiting fellows, a Documentation Department, an Administration Department, and the overseas liaison
offices. The four research divisions were Humans and the Environment, Society and Culture, Economics andPolitics, and Regional Dynamics, the last a new enterprise to facilitate research management and coordinate
and integrate the research of the other three divisions. The Documentation Department consisted of an
editorial office, library, and information processing office. The Administration Department, charged withmanagement of both CSEAS and the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies (ASAFAS), wascomprised of General Affairs, Accounting, Student Affairs, and the International Office.
The Center’s academic structures again underwent considerable reform in 2004 in connection with thegovernment-mandated administrative reorganization of all national universities into autonomous and independent legal bodies. The latest renovation is the Center’s change in administrative status from “research
3

center” to “institute.” Our official status and name in Japanese became “Institute for Southeast AsianStudies,” giving us more a concrete institutional basis even under the circumstances of the reorganization ofnational universities. Although the name and administrative status changed to “Institute,” we decided tomaintain the name “Center for Southeast Asian Studies,” along with the acronym CSEAS, in all non-Japanesecontexts in order to maintain continuity in the international arena.
In accordance with its new status, the Center has restructured itself into a new institution consisting ofa Research Department of four divisions and three sections for visiting fellows, a Division of Area
Informatics, and an Area Studies Planning and Promotion Office. The Administration Department and theoverseas liaison offices remain as they were. The four research divisions are Integrated Area Studies, Humans
and the Environment, Society and Culture, and Economics and Politics. The first division, Integrated Area
Studies, is the continuation of the Division of Regional Dynamics, but it is expected to play a role in pursuing
comparative research on areas within and transcending the boundaries of Southeast Asia in the age of
information and globalization.
The Division of Area Informatics was newly established by integrating the three existing sections in theDocumentation Department with a new Laboratory of Informatics and Network in order to develop a
support system for highly utilized information resources such as books, journals, maps, satellite imageries, anddigitized materials and to develop the concept and discipline of Area Informatics as a research field in areastudies. The new Division consists of the above-mentioned Laboratory, the Library, the Information
Processing Office, and the Editorial Office.
The Area Studies Planning and Promotion Office coordinates nation-wide collaboration with institutions
outside Kyoto University. This office was newly established to take responsibility for coordinating andsupporting the activities of the Japan Consortium for Area Studies (JCAS), in whose joint activities theCenter plays an important role. JCAS was established in April 2004 as an agency for collaboration amongmajor institutions and faculties in Japan engaged in area studies of various regions in the world. No
permanent staff is assigned to this Office, but a number of researchers in the Research Department are rotatedon two-year intervals to conduct the office’s assignments.
The decision-making and deliberative organs of CSEAS are the Council Meeting, the Faculty Meeting,and the Executive Meeting, while the Staff Meeting and various specific committees handle routine affairs.
The Council Meeting, the highest decision-making body in the CSEAS administration, consists of the
Director, all professors, and one associate professor from CSEAS, plus members (professors or associate
professors) selected from related faculties and research institutions within the University and appointed by the
Director.
The Center has a number of intra- and extramural research affiliates who are kept up to date on research
activities and are active in the Center’s interdisciplinary research projects. As of 2005, there are 173
intra-university affiliates and 284 extra-university affiliates from the humanities, social sciences, and naturalsciences.
In the field of education, the Center has an important partner within Kyoto University, ASAFAS, which
was established in April 1998. Based on a five-year doctoral program, the School emphasizes long-term
fieldwork and the holistic understanding of Asian and African ecology, society, and culture, as well as theinteractions between them that have shaped these societies today. Most CSEAS staff are actively engaged in
the education and guidance of graduate students of the School’s Division of Southeast Asian Area Studies.
With the corporatization of national universities in Japan, the Center has reached a new stage in its
development, in which it aims to construct an institutional setting for integrated area studies of Southeast Asia
to meet today’s challenges and to collaborate with other institutions in forming an effective network to
upgrade the academic endeavor of global area studies for the future.

2. Joint Research

In addition to individual research, the Center promotes joint research projects in which most of theCenter’s staff participate. The first of these began as early as l964 with the Thai-Burma project and the
Malaysia-Indonesia project. Based on experience gained in a number of small-scale joint research projects, in1980 the Center began a series of five-year projects with a general theme. The title of the first five-year project(l980ῌ84) was “Integrated Research on the Formation Process of the Southeast Asian World.” The second
five-year project (1985ῌ89) was “Civilization-Oriented Integrated Research on the Formation and Evolutionof the Southeast Asian World.” The third five-year project (1990ῌ94) was “An Integrated Study ofIndigenous Logic and the Development Structure of the Southeast Asian World.” Since 1993, the Center has
carried out three large-scale five-year projects consecutively: the Global Area Studies Project (grant for
Scientific Research on Priority Areas) (1993ῌ96); the Center of Excellence Project (1998ῌ2002); and the 21stCentury COE Project (from 2002). The latter two projects have been jointly organized with ASAFAS. The
major characteristics of all Center projects are their emphasis on field research, their interdisciplinary
approach, and the participation of scholars from Southeast Asia and other regions.

Global Area Studies Project“Toward an Integrated Approach to Global Area Studies: In Search of a Paradigm for a Harmonized
Relationship between the World and its Areas” began in l993. Funded by a grant for Scientific Research on
Priority Areas from the then-Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (Monbusho), “Global Area
Studies” involved 6 designated sub-project groups and 24 open-recruited groups of scientists totaling 130 area
specialists nationwide. During the term of the project, 17 issues of the quarterly journal Global Area Studies(in Japanese) and 35 reports in the Global Area Studies Report Series included contributions by project12members.
Towards the end of the project, in October 1996, an international symposium was convened withparticipants from Japan and abroad, mainly from Southeast Asia. “International Symposium Southeast Asia:
Global Area Studies for the 21st Century” examined the pertinence of the project’s findings in light of current
trends in Southeast Asian studies. The proceedings were published under the title of the symposium in March
1997. The final results of this four-year joint-research project have been published in the Kyoto Area Studies
on Asia series in Japanese: In Search of Global Area Studies (1999), edited by Yoshihiro Tsubouchi, theproject leader; Trials for Inter-Area Comparative Studies, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (l999), edited by Yoshikazu
Takaya, a sub-project leader; Theories on the Formation of Area (2000), edited by Y. Tsubouchi; andIndigenous Theories of Area Development (2000), edited by Yonosuke Hara.
Center of Excellence (COE) ProjectIn 1998, CSEAS, together with ASAFAS, was awarded a Center of Excellence (COE) grant ofapproximately US$8 million by Monbusho, since re-named the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology (MEXT). With this grant for research and institution building, CSEAS and
ASAFAS worked to create a first-class research and educational center for Asian and African area studies at
Kyoto University. Under the title “Making Regions: Proto-Areas, Transformations, and New Formations in
Asia and Africa,” research activities were carried out individually and in seminars, workshops, andconferences. The central question we addressed was the making of regions; our goal was to develop a holistic
way of studying regions and of understanding how regions and the people who live in them change over time.
COE institution-building activities included reinforcing library resources, networking, and publication.
Our library acquired 20,000 books per year during the project, adding some large collections such as the Kirk
Green Collection on Africa and the Lamberto Ocampo Collection on the Philippines, microfiche collectionsof colonial documents from the former Netherlands East Indies and British Malaya, and materials from areas
hitherto not covered in our collection such as theMiddle East, southwest China, Myanmar, Laos, andVietnam. Publications from the project include
several books in the Kyoto Area Studies on Asia
series, as well as the establishment and first threeissues of the Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia, a multilingual internet journal reviewing topics in Southeast Asian studies.
21st Century COE ProjectThe 21st Century COE Project was launchedby ASAFAS and CSEAS in 2003 under the title“Human-Nature Coexistence in a Glocalizing
World.” The following three major projects were
pursued to launch the project:
ῌResearch and education into problems concerning
human-nature coexistence in a glocalizing world;
ῌThe promotion of on-site-education and researchfacilities through field stations established in Asia
in the Philippines, Malaysia, Laos, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India, and in Africa in
13

Egypt, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Zambia, and Kenya. Forty-five professors, 85 graduate students,and 5 junior researchers were dispatched to these areas. Joint research with counterpart organizations is
proceeding smoothly;
ῌThe establishment of an integrated information center for area studies. New information access devices
were installed to promote the effective exchange of information among researchers and graduate students
as well as counterpart organizations. Ten thousand four hundred fifty-one books, 1,471 microfiches, 663
microfilms, and 800 VCDs were purchased and the basic information database was processed.
A homepage including many photographs was also established to publicize research activities in the fieldstations (http://areainfo.asafas.kyoto-u.ac.jp). Basic data appearing on the HP will be renewed in real timeso that users can access up-to-date reports of the activities of this project.
Japan Consortium for Area Studies (JCAS)The Japan Consortium for Area Studies (JCAS) is a consortium of research, educational, and nongovernmental organizations engaged and/or interested in area studies and related issues of various areas in theworld. JCAS was established in April 2004 on the initiative of the Slavic Research Center, Hokkaido
University; the Research Institute of Languages and Cultures in Asia and Africa, Tokyo University ofForeign Studies; The Japan Center for Area Studies, National Museum of Ethnology; and the Center forSoutheast Asian Studies, Kyoto University. By May 2005, 64 organizations had joined JCAS. The major
missions of JCAS are to develop trans-regional and inter-disciplinary area studies, to link research andeducational domains with business and foreign aid domains of both GOs and NGOs, to provide high-quality
information on contemporary world issues to the public, to promote educational and training programs inarea studies to post-graduate and younger scholars, and to initiate a cross-organizational research andeducational system for area studies. In the year 2005, a wide range of research, educational, and supporting
projects, including two umbrella projects, “An area study approach to human security” and “Reformation ofareas under globalization,” a vernacular language training course, a post-graduate student workshop, and thedevelopment of an area specialist database, are planned, in addition to regular activities, which include theannual meeting and the publication of Chiiki Kenkyu (an area studies journal) and newsletters. For details
of JCAS activities, please visit the JCAS web page (http://www.jcas.jp/) or e-mail the secretariat (jcasjimu

3. Institution Building
In addition to promoting active research, CSEAS aims to establish an infrastructure for future research
activities through the ongoing development of area studies, research networks, and library resources.
Through the COE project “Making Regions” (1998ῌ2002) and its successor “21st Century COE,”
CSEAS and ASAFAS staff have pursued the delineation of the principal domains of area studies anddeveloped comparative methodologies to clarify the characteristics of Southeast Asia. Reexamining key
concepts such as environment and resource management, migration, ethnicity, political change, culture,
economic growth and development, the nation-state, hegemony, and networking, CSEAS continuously
15renews area studies through these large-scale joint studies.
Developing networks is an important component of all current and future CSEAS research. Through theCore University Program, supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of the Sciences, other projects
supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the internet
journal Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia, and partnership in the Nippon Foundation API Fellowships, theCenter promotes exchange with institutions and researchers throughout the world.
Recently, CSEAS has accelerated its effort to collect research materials of all kindsÜincluding books,
documents, maps, and satellite imagesÜand make them available for public use through our website.
Providing a site for continuous research and exchange, nurturing the youngest generation of area studies
specialists, welcoming foreign and local scholars, and holding seminars and symposia are among the Center’s
contributions as a Center of Excellence in area studies.
Finally, in order to assess our research activities, the Center has had a self-evaluation mechanism indevelopment since 1993, when a review and evaluation committee was officially constituted, with the director,
deputy directors, and division heads as members. All Center staff are annually requested to submit aself-appraisal report. In 2001, the evaluation mechanism was strengthened by introducing an objective,
graded system in which each staff member’s activities, both academic and administrative, are evaluated every
four years. This self-appraisal mechanism provides staff with the valuable opportunity to reconsider andforecast their research activities.

This workshop was held as a part of the 21 COE program at Kyoto University Clock Tower Centennial
Hall on 30 and 31 October 2004. There were 17 presentations by graduate students and young scholars andlectures by Professor Sato Ikuya of Hitotsubashi University and Professor Matsuda Motoji of Kyoto
University. The number of participants for the 2-day workshop was nearly 200.
The workshop had two characteristics. First, its main focus was fieldwork. All presentations wererequired to show not only research results, but also the process of fieldwork itself, from fact finding throughpaper writing. The presentations tackled how to find facts in the field, how to analyze data according todifferent disciplines, how to integrate data sets, how to generalize from a case study, and how to express
results. Focusing on the process of fieldwork itself seemed to be a main reason the workshop attracted a large
audience. The second characteristic of the workshop was that it was mainly managed by ASAFAS graduate
students, who thereby gained experience in planning, negotiation, and presentation. According to the resultsof a post-workshop questionnaire survey, this opportunity was highly appreciated. It will become more andmore important for research and educational institutions to continuously support this kind of workshop.
(7) First International Symposium on “Area Informatics 2005: The Potential of GIS/RS in Area Studies,” 24March 2005
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Kyoto University and the Japan Consortium for Area Studies/
SIG (Special Interest Group) on Area Informatics are striving to develop and nurture Area Informatics
through the integration of ICT (Information Communication Technology) into Area Studies. The theme forthe first symposium was “The Potential of GIS (Geographical Information System)/RS (Remote Sensing) in
Area Studies,” providing the opportunity to discuss the utilization of, and potential for, advanced GIS/RS
technology in the Southeast Asian region.
The symposium was organized with the help of Internet-based interactive video conferencing and remote
lecture systems and was also the first attempt to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of videoconferencing between Thailand’s School of Advanced Technologies and IntERLab at the Asian Institute ofTechnology (AIT) and the Academic Center for
Computing and Media Studies, Kyoto University,
in Japan.

The Southeast Asia Seminar
The Southeast Asia Seminar has been held each summer since 1977. Initially, the seminar ran for two

weeks, offering intensive lectures and seminars that provided an overview of the nature, culture, society,32

economy, and other aspects of the region and thebasic knowledge needed for area studies. Recently, participatory lectures have been introduced
and encouraged in the seminar and the period has
been shortened for the convenience of the participants. It is open to the public and has attracted
numerous participants each year, particularly postgraduate students beginning their engagementwith Southeast Asian studies. Recent themes arelisted below. The current year’s theme is announced in advance on the Center’s Homepage:

INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC EXCHANGE
CSEAS has always aimed to be an institution with open doors, whether for research, collection ofmaterials, or academic exchange, and has a standing committee for international academic exchange to pursue
this goal. In particular, the utmost effort has been devoted to promoting exchange of information andpersonnel with universities and other institutions in Southeast Asia. Therefore, in addition to exchange on thelevel of individual researchers, the Center has implemented institutional programs such as the visiting research
fellowship, overseas liaison offices, exchange through the Core University Program, Memoranda of Understanding, and Asian Public Intellectuals (API) Fellowships.
1. Visiting Research Fellows
CSEAS is accepting applications semiannually for about 12 positions for scholars and researchers who
work on Southeast Asia, or any one of the countries in that region, to spend 6 to 12 months in Kyoto to
conduct research, write, or pursue other scholarly activities in connection with their field of study. The highly
competitive selection process has brought to the Center in recent years researchers from Southeast Asian
countries, Bangladesh, China, Korea, and western countries including the United States and France. The
visiting fellows represent various basic disciplines in their study of Southeast Asia, and their official posts intheir home institutions include teacher, researcher, librarian, journalist, and NGO worker. Information andTechnology (IT) experts who conduct research on Southeast Asia are also joining the Center, not only to
manage various database systems but also to construct academic networks for area study throughout theworld. Fellows are required to give a one-time special lecture to be held at the Center during their term andare encouraged to submit articles to the Center journals Southeast Asian Studies and Kyoto Review of Southeast
Asia. For further information about how and when to apply, please see the CSEAS Homepage: http://www.
cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp.
CSEAS also receives researchers, both Japanese and foreign, who visit on their own funds or on external
fellowships. Visiting Research Fellows and other visiting researchers received in the last two years are listed
in Appendix I at the end of this report. We provide the listing of all visiting research fellows and other visiting
researchers at our web site.

The “Get-together” has been held every month to cultivate mutual
friendship among CSEAS faculty and visiting foreign scholars.

2. Overseas Liaison Offices
CSEAS liaison office in Bangkok, Thailand, and CSEAS residence in Jakarta, Indonesia, play indispensable roles in academic exchange between Southeast Asian countries and the Center. These have histories of
42 and 35 years, respectively.
Bangkok Liaison Office
The Bangkok Liaison Office was established in 1963. Since
then, a research staff member of CSEAS or another relevant school,
faculty, or university has always been stationed and engaged in
in-situ academic exchange activities. It has been an office cum
residence and is now located in a condominium in the Sukhumvit
area of Bangkok.
The office has three major functions. First, it is the base for
information collection. We are collecting vernacular language
books, statistics, documents, and maps. The office has regularcontact with research agencies such as the National Research Council of Thailand, Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University,
Kasetsart University, Chiang Mai University, Khon Kaen University, and Maha Sarakham University to exchange academic information.
Second, the office is a publicity base for the organization ofworkshops and receptions. The most recent workshops were the
Bangkok Liaison Office in Raj Mansion
international workshops on “Intellectual Discourses of Southeast
Asia,” held in May 2004, and “Area Informatics 2005: Potential of GIS/RS in Area Studies,” held in March
2005. The office also serves as a window into the various inquiries of local institutes, researchers, andstudents.
Third, the office provides logistical support to field surveys including help in the acquisition of researchvisas, negotiation with counterparts, and emergency measures. This office function is quite important for theeffective implementation of field surveys.
The Bangkok Liaison Office is now shifting from its original base in Thai studies to the broader Mainland
Southeast Asian studies, reflecting the shift of research interests of CSEAS staff.

Jakarta Residence
The Jakarta Residence was opened in October 1970 at Jalan Rajasa, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, and has
been funded by the Japanese government since 1973. The address has changed many times, but the residence
has been always situated in the Kebayoran Baru area of Jakarta.
The residence has three major functions: promoting joint research between Indonesia and Japan;
collecting research materials; and assisting Japanese researchers and Indonesian scholars with service andinformation.
One major purpose of setting up the residence in 1970 was to facilitate the Social and Economic Surveyof South Sumatra begun in 1968 by National Institute of Economic and Social Research (LEKNAS) andCSEAS. Since then the residence has continued to facilitate research collaboration with academic institutionsin Indonesia. CSEAS has signed MOUs for research and educational collaboration with the Indonesian
Institute of Science (LIPI), Hasanuddin University, Bogor Agricultural University, the National Coordination Agency for Surveys and Mapping (BAKOSURTANAL), and National Islamic University.
In 1983, the Center started the special project of acquiring vernacular materials, mainly in Southeast
Asian languages, with funding provided by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (Monbusho).
Since then the residence has collected materials written in Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, and otherIndonesian languages, as well as in Dutch. The residence has also collected Indonesian statistics and maps.
The residence has assisted many Japanese
researchers to obtain research permits and has
supported their research activities in Indonesia.
Indonesian students and researchers receive service and information about studying and doing
research in Japan.

Core University Program

CSEAS has been involved in the Core University Program since 1986. The Core is an academic exchange
program of the Japan Society of the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to promote academic collaboration with
Asian developing countries. Following the first phase (1986ῌ98), the second phase began in 1999. The firstproject was “Hegemony,” coordinated by Shiraishi T. (1999ῌ2001), and the second project was “Technocracy,” coordinated by Hamashita T. (1999ῌ2001). In 2000, the third project, “State, Market, Society andEconomic Integration,” was initiated by Abe S. in cooperation with Bhanupong N. (2000ῌ03). One
departure from the initial phase is exchange with scientists not only from Thailand but from other Asian
countries. Following the completion of the first two projects in 2001, the fourth and fifth projects started:“Emergent Middle Classes as a Social Formation in East Asia,” led by Shiraishi T. and Supang C. (2002ῌ04),
and “Dynamics of Flows and Movements in Southeast Asia,” coordinated by Ishikawa N., C. Hau, andJulaporn E. (2002ῌ04). The sixth project, “Market and Economic Partnership,” coordinated by Abe S. and36

Bhanupong N., started in 2004. The seventh project, “Entrepreneurship in East Asia: Political, Economic,
Cultural and Social,” coordinated by Mizuno K. and Pasuk P., and the eighth project, “Changing ‘Family,’”
coordinated by Hayami Y., started in 2005.
We try to apply interdisciplinary approaches as much as possible to make researchers understandpolitical, cultural, and economic issues of importance in East Asia through enhancing networking, deepening
joint research, holding workshops, and publishing and disseminating the results of our research. All theproceedings of past workshops are shared by the researchers concerned, and a collection of selected papers
from the “Hegemony” and “Technocracy” projects was published in 2004 with the title “After the Crisis,
Hegemony, Technocracy and Governance in Southeast Asia” (ed. Shiraishi T. and P. Abinales). In addition,
we are trying to make this a multi-country project by inviting collaboration from Indonesia’s LIPI and thePhilippines’ Ateneo de Manila University in order to make the studies more area-oriented and less countryoriented.

GRADUATE EDUCATION
Department of Southeast Asian Studies (Environment, Society and Culture), Graduate School of Asian and
African Area Studies (ASAFAS)
ASAFAS was established in April 1998. This new School was created in order to respond to changing
social demands on academia to promote an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to area studies
transcending the existing disciplinary boundaries and producing a more holistic understanding of divergent
areas in the world, particularly Asia and Africa. We must contribute, both as citizens and scholars, to theestablishment of a new world order in which the sustainable development and coexistence of different areasof the world, including Asia and Africa, are realized. With this ideal in mind, the new School aims to train
specialists in Asian and African studies who possess detailed and intimate knowledge of the areas and at thesame time are equipped with a global perspective.
Based on the five-year doctoral program, the School emphasizes in its curricula long-term fieldwork andholistic understanding of Asian and African ecology, society, and culture and their interrelations which haveshaped today’s societies. Besides training specialists in Asian and African area studies, the School also hopes
to produce personnel capable of working in international aid organizations and, accordingly, is prepared toissue master’s degrees when needed.
The School comprises seven departments in two divisions:
Division of Southeast Asian Area Studies
Department of Ecology and Environment
Department of Society and Development
Department of Environment, Society, and Culture
Department of South and West Asian Area Studies
Division of African Area Studies
Department of Political Ecology
Department of Cultural Ecology
Department of Historical Ecology
Of the seven departments, the Department of Environment, Society, andCulture (a cooperative department) isstaffed solely by the Center, including
five professors and three associate professors. All other staff of the Centerteach courses on diverse topics in their
specialization in the seven departments.
As of April 2005, there are 163
graduate students, 108 of whom belong
to the Division of Southeast Asian Area
Studies and 55 to the Division of African Area Studies. Twenty-one are overseas students from Asia and Africa,
some of whom receive Japanese govern38

An ASAFAS seminarment scholarships. Forty-three of them belong to the cooperative department and are supervised mainly by
the Center’s staff.
Since overseas field research constitutes the major part of their study, graduate students are hard-pressedto complete all the necessary lectures, seminars, literature surveys, and other tasks in their short time in Japan.
From the second year, many of them try to stay as long as possible in the field, pursuing their respective
studies. These include, to note just a few: Thai nation building revisited, Indonesian political history, Thai
corporate management, gender issues in Buddhist practices in Northeast Thai villages, social changes in
Cambodian villages, political economy of mangrove culture in Vietnam, Lao traditional farming systems,
food and culture in Yunnan, and rural development in Bangladesh.
Kyoto University School of Public HealthA new division of the Graduate School of Medicine, the Kyoto University School of Public Health wasestablished in April 2000. It initially offered a master’s program and has subsequently added a doctoral
program. Two of the Center’s staff teach courses in the SchoolÜon ecology with an emphasis on theenvironment and on ecological medicineÜand supervise graduate students. As of March 2005, five students
have finished master’s degrees under the guidance of Center staff.
Department of Southeast Asian Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies
In 1991, Kyoto University established a new graduate school centered on the former Faculty of Liberal
Arts. The Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies comprises three divisions: Human andEnvironmental Studies, Culture and Area Studies, and Environmental Correlative Studies. One of their 25
departments is the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, to which 19 of the Center’s staff were affiliatedand 20 graduate students recruited. As the primary affiliation of the Center’s staff shifted to the new
ASAFAS, recruitment of new students to this course ended in 1998 and the course was terminated in April
2003. A total of five students were awarded the Ph. D. degree. The course’s spirit of doing area studies on
the basis of long-term fieldwork has been inherited by their successors, the graduate students of ASAFAS.
Division of Tropical Agriculture, Graduate School of Agriculture
The Division of Tropical Agriculture in the Graduate School of Agriculture inaugurated a master’s
program in April 1981 and a doctoral program two years later. Natural scientists of the Center’s staff taught
courses on tropical rice culture, tropical geography, and tropical hydrology. Unfortunately, the program was
terminated upon the major reorganization of the Graduate School of Agriculture in 1995. However, 27
students from Japan (16) and abroad (11) who were trained under this program are pursuing careers
throughout the world in universities, public research institutes, government offices, and the private sector.

DIVISION OF AREA INFORMATICSThe Division of Area Informatics has four sections, Informatics and Network Laboratory, Library,
Information Processing Office, and Editorial Office. Their functions are as follows.
1. Informatics and Network Laboratory
In area studies, information resources such as demographic data, topographic maps, satellite images,
aerial photographs, audiovisual sources, and field specimens are as indispensable to the research infrastructure
as bibliographical catalogues, books, and documents in regional languages. The Informatics and Network
Laboratory accumulates, processes, and provides access to these information resources and forms networks
for exchange and research activities. The Laboratory also explores suitable infrastructure for the effective
sharing of information resources in national and international area studies.
Interdisciplinary researches related to area studies and high-level, top-quality informatics are required inorder to process area information resources. In other words, informatics technology such as Geographical
Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and image processing should be tailored to support themulti-lingual environment for applications such as digital archives and databases for natural, ecological,
social, and humanities studies. The Laboratory advances the practical and feasible application of informatics
tools in area studies and aims to build a center of excellence for area informatics.
2.

Library

The Library has been supporting the academic activities of both CSEAS and outside researchers since its
founding in 1965 with one of the largest and best collections in Japan on Southeast Asian area studies. The
holdings of over 150,000 items include an increasing number in the languages of Southeast Asia and various
special collections. One of these is the Charas collection, which is outstanding for its more than 4,000 Thai“cremation volumes,” considered the largest such collection outside Thailand. In addition, the Marcelino
Foronda collection (approximately 7,000 volumes) and the Lamberto Ocampo collection (approximately
1,000 volumes) contain extensive Filipiniana materials including rare materials. In recent years, the Libraryhas also been acquiring important research materials in microform and other formats such as VCDs, DVDs,
ephemeras, etc. Microform holdings include historical research tools such as Cornell University’s Echols
Collection, the Dutch East India Company’s Mailrapporten and colonial Memorie Van Overgave forIndonesian studies, the British Colonial Office (CO) 273 series for Malaysian studies, and the United States
Department of State microfiche collection on the Marcos Years, 1964ῌ86.
Maps
The map collection concentrates on Southeast Asia but covers almost the whole area from South to East
Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, China, Korea, Australia, the Pacific islands,
Japan, and surrounding regions.
Dates of publication of the maps range from pre-war days to recent aerial surveys. At present thecollection comprises nearly 40,000 sheets. Of historical value are topographical maps of South and East Asia
prepared by the Land Survey Department of the former Japanese Army, scale 1: 25,000 and1: 50,000. Also
included in the collection are a small number of thematic maps on the land use, geology, and vegetation ofSoutheast Asian countries.
40

We provide the listing of our collection at our website.
Satellite Imageries
Acquisitions of satellite images including Landsat MSS, Landsat TM, MOS, and JERS-1 started in 1978,
and the present holding numbers approximately 3,500 scenes. The area covered includes all regions ofSoutheast Asia, the eastern half of the Indian subcontinent, the whole of Bangladesh, part of South China, andJapan. Scenes from two or more seasons are chosen wherever possible. The collection concentrated onblack-and-white positive films (bands 4, 5, and 7) which have a scale of 1:1,000,000 at the beginning, then on
color prints with a scale of 1: 250,000, and on digital data in recent years.
The utilization of satellite images has changed from the visual interpretation of macro-topography,
landuse, vegetation, and hydrological environment to digital analyses of a wide range of spatial information
by incorporating results in the Geographical Information System. We provide the listing of our collection at
our website.
3. Information Processing Office
As well as serving as a pioneer in Southeast Asian Studies, CSEAS has been implementing manycollaborations and cooperative activities with domestic and international organizations and researchers in thefield of area studies.
To encourage these activities, the Information Processing Office serves as the supervisor of all intelligence infrastructures related to CSEAS, including the communication infrastructure such as the transmissionof information. Concretely, we carry out not only maintenance and management for the computing systembut also act as consultant for the development of various systems.

3. Some articles related to Asian rice culture and its development have been well received among scholars not only in the field of Southeast Asian studies but also in agronomy and agricultural development studies. My present research interest in biological resource management under the rubric of humanenvironment interaction has begun to produce some related articles, such as “Who Owns the Forest ?:The Boundary between Forest and Farmland at the Frontier of Land Reclamation,” “Living between
the Land and the Sea,” and “Kemiri (Aleurites moluccana) and Forest Resource Management in Eastern Indonesia: An Eco-historical Perspective,” which have attracted attention from agronomists andhuman ecologists.
My research work is characterized by an effort to integrate various disciplines. Such efforts haveappeared in the form of organizing interdisciplinary research project “Inter-regional comparative studies on frontier societies” through a Monbusho grant-in-aid and have produced related articles such as“Toward the Southeast Asian Frontier Hypothesis.” In addition, these efforts are reflected in my practical participation in the editorial boards of a publication series and several academic journals, e. g., Lecture Series: Man and Environment, Culture and Technology of Agriculture, and Ecosophia.

3. My past research dealt with religious practices and socio-cultural change in the Theravada Buddhist cultures of mainland Southeast Asia. In the 1980s, I conducted both intensive and extensive field surveys
in northeast Thailand. But since the 1990s I have extended the scope of the research sites to include
neighboring countries such as the Lao P. D. R., Cambodia, and Xishuangbanna of southwestern China.
These empirical studies have allowed me to formulate my research theme as two interrelated topics: 1)
a comparative study of religion and society in Theravada Buddhist cultures; and 2) inter-ethnic relations in the making of mainland Southeast Asia. The former aims to elucidate the salient features of practices among the Theravadins in each region. The latter, rooted in my field experience, aims to gather ethnographical data in each region and analyze them from a comparative and regional perspective inorder to clarify the dynamics of peasant societies in the localities.
In the past four years, I have embarked on the writing of descriptive works in both Japanese andEnglish based on my research findings, including my first monograph on practical Buddhism among
the Thai-Lao. I have also organized some seminars and international workshops in Japan, Thailand,
China and Lao P. D. R. to promote the exchange of the related ethnographical data between andamong other specialists from various countries. The proceedings and products of these successful conferences have been published in English with abstracts in the respective language of the place where themeeting was held. I hope that this kind of inter-regional project, which has broadened my perspectivein the course of individual study, will yield a series of undertakings which will further encourage the sharing of substantial data as well as the construction of academic networks among Southeast Asianists.

3. Since 1993, I have been studying social and cultural change among the Sama Dilaut in the SuluMakassar Sea, which stretches from the Sulu Archipelago in the Philippines to Sabah, Malaysia, andthe eastern part of Indonesia. Since they were once boat-dwelling fisherfolk, the Sama Dilaut wererepresented as “sea nomads” or “sea gypsies” in colonial literatures. This somewhat romantically emphasized characteristic has created an image of the Sama Dilaut as free from any commitment tomodern states or as a people without nationality. Comparative observation of Sama Dilaut histories in
the Sulu-Makassar Sea, however, reveals that they have constantly reorganized their social and cultural lives against the political background of each colonial-state or nation-state. A general theme of mystudy is to explore the historical process of the changes in their socio-economic and religious lives by situating this process within the local and national as well as trans-national contexts.
I conducted intensive ethnographic fieldwork among the Sama Dilaut in Sabah, Malaysia, fromMarch 1997 through March 1999. My main objective is to understand Sama Dilaut Islamization andthe reconstruction of their religious practices since the 1950ῌ60s as a social and historical phenomenon
taking place in relation to changes in both the national and local circumstances surrounding Islam, i.
e., the “institutionalization” of Islam by the Sabah state government and the subsequent shift of local religious authority to the state Islamic institution and its personnel and away from “traditional” religious intellectuals with origins in the Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines. Based on this fieldwork, I submitted my Ph. D. dissertation, “The Sama Dilaut and the Nation-State: Historical Dynamics of Islamization in Sabah, Malaysia,” to the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University in February 2005.
Current research topics:
Comparative study of Sama Dilaut’s social histories in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia focus47

ing on the interactions of their community, local society, and nation-state. Concretely, it is concernedwith such topics as: 1) reformation of social networks through trans-national as well as trans-local movements undertaken for purposes of migration, trading, or marine resource exploitation; 2) reconstruction of “ethnic” identity under ethnicized socio-political situations; 3) reorganization of village-levelsocial relations entangled with local development policies; 4) Islamization or Christianization and articulation of local religious practice to Islam or Christianity in connection with the “institutionalization”
of religion by the state. The study is an attempt to reconsider the meanings of the nation-state for
marginalized societies in maritime Southeast Asia.

3. 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, 1999ῌJanuary 31, 2001” (Indonesia, No. 71, April 2001); Hantu Digul (literally Phantoms ofDigul) (Yogyakarta: LKiS, 2001).
I am currently working on two questions simultaneously for book length projects. One is thesocial, 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.

3. Since 1995 I have been researching rural economies and rural factor markets (like land, labor, and capital) in Gujarat, India, for rural development and poverty alleviation. The results of this study show
how the functioning of rural factor markets suffer not only from serious inequality of land distribution, but also from “patron-client” social relations that are caused by the kind of “bonded laborsystem” that prevails in central Gujarat village society. These factors also strongly correspond withthe caste system in rural India. Findings about the importance of social factors and rural institutions
that are embedded in economic activities could have implications for development policies such as
minimum wage policy and subsidized rural credit. The relationship between rural economic and social institutions is still strong in rural India, even in the era of economic growth and market liberalizationthat has prevailed since the new economic policies of the 1990s.
My current interest is to expand these empirical studies to wider geographical research fields.
Theoretical sophistication about development (or agricultural) economics is also required to draw out
the implications for Indian agricultural policy or rural development policy as a whole. An expectationof future study is, through these abstractions, to compare India with Southeast Asian societies.

3. Since 1997, I have been interested in the relationship between the British Empire and the regional
order in Asia. Based on this interest, I have conducted following research. First, I compared theBritish colonial administrations in Singapore and Hong Kong in the 19th century, mainly focusing on revenue raising and policing. The result of this study was presented to the Graduate School of Humanand Environmental Studies, Kyoto University, as an M. A. thesis in January 2000 and published in
SEAS 2003.
Second, I demonstrated how the British Empire constructed an intelligence network against the international communism movements led by the Third International (Comintern) in the 1920s and1930s. For this purpose, I examined the “Noulens Case” of 1931, the only case in which a key agentof the Comintern was arrested by British police in Shanghai. I collected materials relating to this caseand submitted the results of this study as my dissertation to the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University, on 6 December 2004.
Current research topics:(1) The early 20th-century British-led intelligence network and information exchange system in Asia
(2) The structure of the Comintern network in Asia in the 1920s and 1930s

3. Faulted geologic information plays an important role in the fields of civil engineering, construction,
51

and environmental preservation. My research is a mathematical formation of geologic structure
formed by faulting. Three-dimensional (3-D) modeling of geologic structure is an effective method composed of two elements: the logical model of geologic structure and DEM (Digital Elevation Model).
I assume that the fault surface divides the preexisting geologic units into two parts. If the relation between the geologic units and the surfaces in each part is preserved, the logical model of geologic structure in both sides is expressed in the same form as the case of the geologic structure before the faulting. Focusing on this rule, we can define a new recursive definition to derive the logical model of geologic structure that involves fault movements. The recursive definition provides a powerful tool toderive the logical model of complex geologic structures formed by sedimentation, erosion, and faulting
through simple mechanical procedures. It is expected that this study would advance the computer processing of faulted geologic structures to the next stage. Further, as developed, this system can be applied to the geologic structure of Southeast Asia, where it would be important to draw a hazard map including faults and landslides.

3. In Northeast Thailand, where rainfed paddy cultivation is commonplace, direct dry seeding is replacing transplanting to increase the frequency of successful plantings and to save labor. I showed theimpact of this change on paddy vegetation from the agricultural and ecological viewpoints. A large
number of paddy fields with a wide range of climatic, topographic, soil and hydrological conditions
were used in the study area. The analysis revealed that direct dry-seeded fields are resource poor andhave a wider range of water conditions within a field due to a rougher soil surface than transplanted
fields. This results in lower productivity of total vegetation for rice growing in direct dry-seeded
fields. However, weed productivity was not significantly different between the direct dry seeding andtransplanted fields. Direct dry-seeded fields have more species-rich vegetation and greater diversity
than the transplanted fields. Previous planting methods for particular fields did not influence productivity and diversity of paddy vegetation. It is concluded that the use of direct dry seeding increased biomass production of rice and the diversity of the paddy vegetation. The results also suggest that key concepts of the analytic framework to be used to harmonize agricultural production and biodiversity arethought to identify resource availability and disturbance intensity. Finally, I constructed the model
simultaneously explaining both rice production and biodiversity from disturbance intensity and resource availability in rainfed paddy fields. Finally, the moderate intensiveness of agriculture in thisregion was examined from the agricultural and ecological viewpoint.

of individuals in the urban community. The research spans the period from the late 1980s, nowreferred to as the start of globalization, to the present. The aim is to make clear how urban structuralchanges in the macro context of “economics” and “labor” impact the “labor” and “life” of individuals
on the micro level and how individuals react and respond to such changes.
The main research topic is the informal economy in Bangkok. Due to a big fire at the researchsite in 2004, the research topic has changed slightly and is now looking closely at the “cost” and“risk” to workers in the informal economy.

3. I started my own research in Cambodia in 1998 and conducted long-term fieldwork in a village in the eastern Tonle Sap Lake region from December 2000 to April 2002. My concern at the beginning was to explore changes and continuity in Cambodian village culture and society after the turmoil caused by internal warfare and the rule of the Pol Pot regime in the 1970s. Today, having conducted this intensive research, my research focus consists of the three themes below:(1) Ethnographic study of a Cambodian village. This consists of descriptive analysis of three different
but interdependent topics: the historical process of demise and recovery of village social order in andafter the 1970s, the facts and villagers’ narratives about changes after the era of turmoil, and the very
recent ongoing social changes in the atmosphere of economic boom after the national election in
1993.
(2) The reconstruction of Cambodian Buddhism. This focuses on both the state-led institutional
development of the Cambodian Buddhist Sangha and the reconstruction of Buddhist templemonasteries and practice in the local community. It aims not only to deepen understanding ofcontemporary Cambodian Buddhism, but also to contribute to the exploration of religious dynamics
in Theravada Buddhist societies in mainland Southeast Asia.
(3) Regional history of Central Cambodia. This concerns the historical formation of society around theTonle Sap Lake region since the end of the 19th century, with a special interest in immigrants. The
relationship between the indigenous Khmer population and immigrants such as Vietnamese fishers54and Chinese traders will be examined in light of the dynamic ecological features and social stereotypes
associated with immigrant groups.

I have been working on tropical rain forest ecosystems for many years and my contributions to thefield were compiled in Tropical Rain Forests of Southeast Asia: A Forest Ecologist’s View, published by
the University of Hawai’i Press in 1999. In the last 10 years, my interest has shifted to human factors
in the forest, especially to how people live on the available resources. This interest resulted in Eco-

resources in Asia and America, dealing with various aspects of resource utilization in many areas of theworld, which was published by Iwanami in 2000.
Since the forest is key to global environment issues, I recognize the importance not only of academic research, but also of the multilateral approaches of Official Development Assistance and NonGovernmental Organizations. Consequently, I have worked with JICA, FAO, and NGO groups.

3. In a community-based geriatric intervention study in Kochi, Japan, we revealed: 1) the association between blood pressure levels and cognitive function in elderly subjects aged 75 years and above; 2) the association between serum cholesterol levels and cognitive function in elderly subjects aged 75 years andabove; 3) the effect of intervention on the annual increased independent ratio in activities of dailyliving in the community-dwelling elderly population during 1991ῌ97; 4) risk factors for subsequent
death in the elderly; 5) risk factors for subsequent frailty in the elderly; 6) characteristics of quality oflife of the community-dwelling elderly; and so on.
We also set up geriatric longitudinal study fields, such as Kyoto, Shiga, and Hokkaido in Japan,
and we compared the difference of quality of life of the community-dwelling elderly population among
the three areas. The tendency of variety of quality of life items of old people are common in the threeareas, indicating that Japanese old people have a common sense of quality of life.
In trans-cultural ecological medical studies in Tibet in China, Yunnan in China, Mongolia,
Korea, Sen Yay in Myanmar, West Java in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos, we have clarified
that the human aging phenomena, including biological indices and social quality of life, are influenced
not only by genetic differences or surrounding natural environments but also by cultural differences.
Current research topics:(1) Trans-cultural ecological aspects of human aging(2) Community-based comprehensive geriatric intervention for the elderly(3) Comparative ecological studies for dementic disorders between Southeast Asia and Japan

3. The current subject of my study is enteric infections in Southeast Asia, particularly the effect onhuman activities of bacteria distributed in the aquatic environment. Compared with advanced countries, the countries in Southeast Asia suffer much more from enteric infections and they are the most important of the diseases affecting Southeast Asia. This difference cannot be explained simply by levelsof hygiene and medical care such as vaccination and treatment. It might be possible that both naturaland human environments in Southeast Asia are suitable for the distribution and propagation of entericpathogens. It is also possible that the practically borderless movement of humans and materials in Southeast Asia might greatly contribute to the spread and prevalence of these diseases. I have been conducting collaborative research to examine these possibilities and this has developed into a research network. We have gained significant insights into the infections caused by emerging bacterial pathogens, including a new clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae O139, Esherichia coli O157 and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. The information obtained has been exchanged among researchers in
the network and also made available to the rest of the world through publication in international journals.
Current research topics:(1) Dynamics of pathogenic bacteria in the environment(2) Epidemiology of infectious diseases that originate in Southeast Asia

3. Since April, 2001, I have been mainly involved in the following two projects: the JICA Joint Study on
Participatory Rural Development Project (PRDP) and the JSPS Study on Agricultural and Rural Development among the Minorities of Bangladesh and Myanmar (SARD-BM). The first project is a continuation of two previous JICA joint studies on rural development in Bangladesh; in these JICA study
61

projects, I tried to develop alternative research methods that are suitable for rural development but
can also be applied to area studies. One of these methods foregrounds the standpoint and consciousness of the persons living in the study area. The second project is also based on my previous individual studies on locally existing technologies and rural societies in the deltaic regions of Bangladesh andMyanmar. The study area between Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh and Irrawady in Myanmar
was re-opened in the late 1990s to foreign scholars, and I am now in the process of collecting primarydata on that region. In addition, I have conducted fieldwork on agricultural technologies in the hilly
regions, namely Yunnan in China, and Laos since 1999 in order to formulate alternative options for
agricultural development in rural Japan.
Current research topics:(1) Change in agricultural technologies and the development of village societies in rice-growing tropicaldeltas, especially Bengal and Irrawaddy, and in rice terrace farming areas, especially Yunnan and
Laos(2) Relationship between villagers and nation in rural development(3) Environmental problems and agricultural development in Bangladesh and Kazakhstan(4) Characteristics of regional units of Bengal, Assam, Myanmar, Yunnan, and Laos from the perspective of area studies

3. I carried out three research projects related to land and water resources management during the last63

several years. First, the MAPNET (Modeling Agricultural Productivity in Northeast Thailand) project highlights regional-level land productivity of rainfed agriculture and aims to bridge the gap between micro-level crop physiological research and regional-level agricultural development planning andto examine the gap between potential and actual yields caused by economic and social environments.
This project introduced various kinds of recently developed research tools such as GIS (Geographic
Information System), GPS (Global Positioning System), and digital image analysis. Second, the
PELUSSA (People, Environment and Land Use Systems in Mainland Southeast Asia) project focuseson sustainable management of land resources in the mountainous regions of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The major research interest is how to change the downward spiral of insufficient food, low cash
income, and degrading environments caused by risky environment, weak market economy, and unintegrated policy implementation into an upward spiral. My third research topic is the technical and institutional aspects of irrigation system management in Monsoon Asia and its historical changes. The
study areas have so far been Sichuan province, the Red River Delta, and the Mekong River Delta. I
also serve as a task force member of the Japan-Myanmar Cooperation for Economic Structural Adjustment and a external examiner of Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute.
Current research topics:(1) Land productivity evaluation(2) Agricultural production and environmental protection(3) Irrigation system management(4) GIS for rural system analysis

3. Since 1994 I have been researching farming systems and the role of cooperatives in a village in Nam
Dinh Province, Vietnam. The results of this study were presented at the Euroviet Congress, an international conference on Vietnamese studies held in Amsterdam in 1997, and at the international workshop Vietnamese Peasants’ Activity: An Interaction between Culture and Nature, held at IIAS, Leiden
University, August 28ῌ31, 2002. The former paper was published as the opening article in Vietnamese So65

ciety in Transition: The Daily Politics of Reform and Change, a collection based on fieldwork in the
1990s.
In 1997, as a part of the research project “Evaluation of landuse and agricultural resources in the
Red River Delta,” funded by Japan’s Ministry of Education, I conducted a questionnaire survey in
Nam Dinh Polder. Although the analysis has not yet been finished because of the enormity of thedata, the results will undoubtedly surpass Pierre Gourou’s results from the early twentieth century.
In 1998, I collected data on daily farming practices for one year in a village. My dissertation
based on this data was approved by the Faculty of Agriculture of Kyoto University on November 24,
2000.
In addition to research activities in the Delta, I have started a comparative study of the Northern
mountain regions of Vietnam since 1998. Three sites, Moc Chau district in Son La, Dien Bien districtin Lai Chau, and Bac Ha district in Lao Cai, were selected to compare historical differences in agricultural development.

In order to study relationships between the coexistence of tree species and the dynamics of organic
matter in forests, tropical peat swamp forests are selected as model ecosystems, where abiotic factors
such as geological topography or parent rock types are homogeneous and only biological processes
create habitat heterogeneity. The temporal or spatial variation of the ground elevation of peat soils is
mainly caused by changes in the balance between organic matter inputs to soils and decomposition,
which are affected by the growth and death of influential trees. To clarify the processes of elevation
dynamics, I measure the microtopography around some tree groups, estimate organic matter in soils in
the form of litter and roots under three kinds of microtopographic conditions, measure decomposition
rates, and detect the shift of distribution patterns of dominant species among growing stages inrelation to locations of tree groups creating specific microtopographic conditions. It was found thatthe growth or death of buttressed trees has the greatest effect on the rising or sinking of ground surfaces through changes in litter supply and root production. I am planning to extend this model toother forest types.
Current research topic:
Species coexistence in tropical forests

3. Over the last 10 years, my research has gradually evolved and transformed itself due to changes in myown orientation, in the discipline of cultural anthropology, and in the area I study. In the attempt tobring questions deriving from changes in my discipline to the study of Southeast Asia in a meaningful
way, my focus has widened both spatially and temporally. What began as a field-based research in a
Karen community in the Northern Thai hills has extended to upland-lowland relationships in thewider national and trans-national contexts. More concretely, I have reconsidered some taken-forgranted oppositions between upland and lowland and Buddhist and non-Buddhist societies in theregion, as well as dichotomous notions regarding family and gender, taking my research on the Karen
people as a starting point. I have been conducting research on three major themes: 1) religion, andseeing the upland-lowland relationship through religion and changes thereof; 2) gender and ethnicity,wherein I question what it means to identify with a minority ethnic group and to be a woman; and 3)
social aspects of environmental problems and the upland-lowland relationship.
In studying any of these topics, whether I am looking at social phenomena and transformation
within the larger nation-state formation, colonization, or globalization, my common viewpoint is tolook at the local experiences of such larger processes.
Current research topics:69

(1) The historical development of ethnic relationships and mobility in mainland Southeast Asia, rethinking the upland-lowland axis
(2) Family and gender among a minority ethnic group in the periphery under social changes(3) The process of change from ritual practice to the world religions by a minority ethnic group(4) Research in Myanmar to provide comparative data on the above topics, especially religion, family,
and gender

3. As a social anthropologist by training, I have maintained an interest in political economy and humanenvironment relationships in insular Southeast Asia with a strong commitment to elucidate locally specific histories for better understanding of social forces shaping the region. I have focused on the material bases of socio-cultural configurations in maritime Southeast Asia, analyzing them in both their local
and global contexts as well as exploring the interaction between the two. Combining historical andethnographic approaches, I have been working toward a synthesis of political-economic perspectives
with insights provided by interdisciplinary research on the Malay world and on present-day Malaysia
and Indonesia, with special focus on the role of cultural interpretations in the reproduction and maintenance of power, and on identity politics, including nation- and state-making, ethnogenesis, sociocultural dislocation, and the mobilization of social labor.

3. In my recently published book, Necessary Fictions: Philippine Literature and the Nation, 1946ῌ1980(Ateneo de Manila University Press, Philippines, 2000), and in the anthology of Chinese-Filipino writing I edited, Intsik (Anvil Publishing, Philippines, 2000), I explored the intimate but fraught relationship between history and literature in the Philippines. In a number of articles published in Singapore,
the Philippines, and the United States, I wrote on the cultural production of overseas Chinese in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, the theorizing of “Southeast Asia” and “Asia” as regional discourse, andthe role of the intellectual in the national liberation struggle in the Third World.
I am now working concurrently on two book projects. One is a follow-up volume to my firstbook; this book takes the study of Philippine nationalist literature from the early 1980s to the present.
The second book deals with the everyday life of the Chinese in the Philippines since the Second WorldWar.
Current research topics:(1) Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia

2. Associate Professor of Thai History and Historiography
3. Historian interested in the Early Bangkok Period of Siam (Thailand). Her research interest has been focused on the following fields:
74

(1) Socio-economic history of Siam in the early Bangkok period (from the late 18th century to the early
20th century): She has conducted extensive archival researches concerning the various aspects ofpre-modern Siamese society and state administration and their transformation from the late 19th
century.
(2) Critical reexamination of modern Thai historiography: Along with empirical researches based uponarchival sources, she is also interested in critical reexamination of modern Thai historiography.
Formulated in the early 20th century by the elites who themselves were state administrators, these
historical writings implicitly assume a nation state as its frame and are still very influential as official
history in Thailand. By questioning historiography, she hopes to broaden the possibilities of history
writings.
(3) History of gender relations: One of the important fields of history which has been marginalized in theofficial discourse of Thai history is the question of gender. Believing that historical exploration ofgender relations should not be a compartmentalization of “women” as a self-evident category andtheir study as a sub-field complimenting “his”tory, she hopes to look into a process in which
differences between men and women were constructed, defined, and redefined within a certain
political and historical context.
(4) Sino-Siamese relations: For the last few years, she has also been conducting archival researches on the
Chinese in Siam as well as on Sino-Siamese relations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She has
started a historical study of Chinese-style shrines in various towns along the Gulf of Thailand.

I have employed both institutional and historical approaches in my study of the Indonesian economy
as well as the area study approach when examining land, labor, and capital as integral parts of theeconomy. My research concerns have also included studying the development and the role of people’s organizations, and how social capital is attained or lost in communities.
I have conducted a number of case studies on the non-farm sector and rural industries in the Indonesian countryside, the results of which have been published in my book Community-Based Industry in Indonesia: What Is a Path to the Recovery of Asian Economies ? (Kyoto University Press, 1999). This

study delved into the characteristics of community-based industry, which is the main form of smallscale industry in Indonesia. One of its findings point to “regional units like neighboring households, neighboring organizations, hamlets, and administrative villages [as forming the] social basis to someextent for the development of economic networks of the people who participated in the communitybased industries.”
My essay in the edited volume, Economic Development and Land Systems in South-East Asia
(IDE, 1997), examined the weakness of land rights of rural peoples in relation to the state. Anotheressay in another edited volume on labor, Rural Employment in Southeast Asia (IDE, 1995), presented employment concepts to analyze the non-farm sector in rural Southeast Asia. My research on rural industrialization, published in Rural Industrialization in Indonesia: A Case Study of Community-Based Weaving Industry in West Java (IDE, 1996), likewise showed that rural industry and the non-firm sector improved income distribution among rural peoples, but did not change the income distribution hierarchy.

3. So far I have concentrated on the following research. First was research on the relationship between
agrarian structure and productivity in Bangladeshi agriculture. Using Agricultural Census data of
1977 and 1983/84, I analyzed how operational farm size and tenancy affected land use intensity andcrop choice. This was my doctorial thesis submitted to the University of Tokyo in 1992 and publishedby the National Research Institute of Agricultural Economics in 1993. Second was research on socioeconomic changes in rural Bangladesh (and West Bengal) in the midst of the “Green Revolution”
since the 1980s. The implications of the emergence and transformation of the groundwater market interms of production efficiency and rural income distribution, changes in the rural informal credit
market, etc. were analyzed through several village-level intensive studies. This research was published
as a book in 2005 by Kyoto University Press. The third and fourth works are on agricultural andrural development in Myanmar and Laos, respectively. This was basically policy-oriented researchsponsored by JICA. Various issues, such as land tenure, land use system, agricultural production andmarketing, off-farm employment, savings and credit, and human development, were analyzed. The problem of landless agricultural laborers in Myanmar and the problem of rural finance in Laos were especially examined.
Current research topics:(1) Poverty and policies for poverty alleviation in rural Myanmar(2) Transformation of the shifting cultivation system and related issues in northern Laos

3. My first year as associate professor in the Center was an extremely fruitful one. I revised my dissertation, and it was published by Ateneo de Manila University Press under the title Making Mindanao:
Cotabato and Davao in the Formation of the Philippine Nation-State. I continued working on the American colonial period, particularly on the construction of politics in that era. My research included theorigins of the communist opposition to the Marcos dictatorship, especially in the southern Philippines.
I became Southeast Asia editor (previously member of the editorial board) of Critical Asian Studies, previously Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars. My book Love, Sex and the Filipino Communist, or
Hinggil sa Pagpigil ng Panggigigil was published in 2004 by Anvil Publishing in Manila. In late 2004,

3. My interest is in local politics in Southeast Asia. The colonial states and subsequent nation-states ofSoutheast Asia established borderlines which administratively and spatially divide states into regions.
These regions represent arenas of local politics, within which political struggles for power and money
take place. My research observes the style and structure of local politics and seeks to ascertain what differentiates one region from another. I have been studying local politics in Indonesia within a historical and comparative perspective in order to answer this question.
Current research topics:(1) Establishing the historical continuity of the local elite in West Java province, Indonesia
I am trying to prove that colonial-era local bureaucrats, with origins in the higher social strata, rather
successfully retained politically important positions in the local arena even after the birth of theIndonesian nation-state. My research reconsiders the common perception that the Indonesiannational revolution represented a totally fresh start for the Indonesian people.
(2) Describing the on-going decentralization process in Indonesia
I am explaining decentralization from an institutional viewpoint and mapping out local politicalstructures in three provinces since decentralization.

3. For more or less two decades, the major topic in my research has been the application of informationand communication technology (ICT) to historical studies, particularly of the early modern period inJapan. My research recently focuses on the application of Geo-informatics to historical, cultural, and archaeological studies with an emphasis on Southeast Asia. As can be seen from the utilization of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) in such studies, Geo-informatics is already being actively incorporated into advanced research. However, the case studies, experience, and research results that are currently available are insufficient.
Since these circumstances are important for both area studies and informatics, the aim of my research is to work on creating and building up a new disciplineῌ῍Area Informatics, which explores regional dynamics through synthetic and holistic approaches based on Geo-informatics in area studies.

In the past few years, my interest has shifted from librarianship alone to its social context in Southeast
Asia. My passion for language and society emerged when, in 2003, I encountered the flood of Chinese books and Chinese characters that washed over the city of Jakarta with the government’s loosening of controls on the Chinese language. In order to pursue this passion, I have begun a new study on
the language activities of the Chinese in Indonesia using a sociolinguistic approach. In addition, I
have continued the projects I have been working on in the field of library science, such as the role of libraries in non-formal education. I hope my interests in these two different fields will be integrated into
one form in the near future.
Current research topics:(1) The role of libraries and librarians in literacy in Southeast Asia

3. Since 1987 I have taken part as managing editor in editing and publishing the quarterly journal Southeast Asian Studies, CSEAS’s Newsletter, CSEAS Report, Yoran (Report in Japanese), etc. and havecharge of the administrative affairs of the CSEAS research monograph series. Southeast Asian Studies
has published the results of area studies of Southeast Asia based on field work since 1963 and the172nd issue recently appeared. The editorial Board has constantly sought to define area studies andhow its theme and research methodology differ from those of other disciplines. I always take fresh interest in the achievement and development of Southeast Asian Studies.
I am also very interested in publishing in the information age. Over the past several years great improvements in information procedures have caused people to rethink the concept of publishing and to87

speculate on its future. The transition from printed matter to electronic media is not only a change inthe medium through which people communicate or express their thoughts, but also entails a reconstruction of their thinking. This transition is not a process through which printed matter has been completely disposed of and replaced by electronic media, but one which results in overlapping media. Basedon those points, I am considering how publishing will change with the spread of electronic media.
Current research topics:(1) Publishing in the information age(2) The characteristics and transition of the quarterly journal Southeast Asian Studies
