Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia. Regional Learnings
Extrait
While Southeast Asia is completing a strong geopolitical sequence and the region remains a strategic area in the relations of influence in the Indo-Pacific, several countries are also focused on electoral agendas and the domestic political dynamics they impel. The Philippines saw a presidential election (May 2022) for which an assessment has yet to be made, while the general elections in Malaysia (November 2022) and the presidential one in Timor-Leste (April 2022), followed by the legislative ...

While Southeast Asia is completing a strong geopolitical sequence and the region remains a strategic area in the relations of influence in the Indo-Pacific, several countries are also focused on electoral agendas and the domestic political dynamics they impel. The Philippines saw a presidential election (May 2022) for which an assessment has yet to be made, while the general elections in Malaysia (November 2022) and the presidential one in Timor-Leste (April 2022), followed by the legislative elections in May 2023, open up new dynamics that have yet to be consolidated.
The elections showed important contrasts between countries. The results of the polls in 2023 did not lead to political renewal, but in Thailand (legislative elections, 14 May) the electoral process was marked by uncertainty, while in Cambodia (legislative elections, 23 July) it wasn’t much surprise. In Indonesia (general elections in February 2024), the campaign is still open, and the results could lead to very different directions.
This book, Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia - Regional Learnings, provides an opportunity for experts from six countries to decipher the issues and consequences of these elections (including the future ones). Moreover, based on a regional perspective, it tries to draw comparisons, parallels and contrasts, and to identify broad regional trends in the functioning of electoral systems and the political institutions on which they are based.
Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia - Regional Learnings follows on from a seminar organised by IRASEC and Heinrich Böll Stiftung-Southeast Asia Regional Office, hosted by the Faculty of Political Science of Chulalongkorn University and with the support of the King Prajadhipok’s Institute, who provided a simultaneous translation in Thai language.

Gabriel FACAL is an anthropologist, currently deputy director of the Research Institute for Contemporary Southeast Asia (IRASEC, Bangkok), and associate researcher at the Southeast Asia Center (CASE, Paris). In the Indonesian Banten province, his dissertation work (2012) focused on the triadic relationship that develops between martial initiation groups, political networks, and Islamic groups. Over the course of several postdoctoral contracts, he has expanded his research to study different types of collective mobilizations, from small societies captured by development projects to identity-based organizations serving politically involved bosses. In 2020, he co-founded the Observatory of Political Alternatives in Southeast Asia (ALTERSEA), which aims to be a platform for cross-sectoral knowledge building on social movements in the region. At IRASEC, he leads an individual research project on social change and agroecology in West Java, and coordinates a program entitled Cross-Sectoralization of Development in Southeast Asia (CROSSDEV-SEA), which brings together a dozen partners in France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.
