· Overview
Since 2008, SIEAS has concentrated its efforts on the construction of new paradigm in which Southeast Asia is viewed as an ‘Open Regional System’ and advancing Southeast Asian studies in Korea. SIEAS has launched research clusters designed to encourage the academic collaboration of international and domestic scholars, in order to fully accomplish our grand research project of ‘Southeast Asia as an open regional system.’ To this aim, in 2009, two clusters were created, which conducted interdisciplinary research under the grand theme of “The Historical Construction of Southeast Asia.” The first cluster, “Perceiving Southeast Asia,” is to understand how external world has perceived Southeast Asia. The second cluster, “Historical Construction of Southeast Asian Studies,” compared the historical processes of how various countries have developed Southeast Asian studies and analyzed the characteristics of their studies.
