LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Since I became the Director of Irasec in 2008, my main priority
has been to strengthen the Institute’s involvement within
university networks working on Southeast Asia, by adapting
Irasec’s management in accordance with its committees (the
piloting and scientific committees and the laboratory council).
Part of Irasec’s research team has changed. Christian Culas
(based in Hanoi) and Rémy Madinier (Jakarta) have left the
Institute. Joining the team are Vatthana Pholsena (from the
Department of Southeast Asian Studies at NUS, based in
Singapore) and Nathalie Fau (who is to join a Malay think tank
and shall be based in Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta). Despite these
changes, Irasec is still going strong thanks to its network of
associate researchers and collaborators throughout eleven
Southeast Asian countries. An increasing number of these
researchers are Southeast Asian natives (Thailand, Vietnam,
Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia,
Burma, Laos and Timor-Leste). In addition, more researchers
have been contacting us, notably from Europe, Canada and
East Asia.
The current challenge faced by the Institute in this time of
uncertainty in the field of French research is to strive to
support the training of tomorrow’s specialists, those who
are language and fieldwork trained, who are experts in
their field and who have a profound knowledge of their
cultural areas. These last few years, a cause for worry has
been the increasing number of French trained and funded
researchers being drawn into foreign institutes, notably in
Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Canberra, etc.), due to the lack
of opportunities in France. This is
where Irasec’s role, responsibility
and future lies vis-à-vis the state of
French research on Southeast Asia,
through its various annual fieldwork
scholarships and its medium to long
term financed research programmes
( I r a s e c ’s d i s c u s s i o n p a p e r s ,
occasional papers and books).
Finally, Irasec is also working towards fighting against
the cultural chasms that affect our system all too often:
the partitioning of university subjects, the growing divide
between researchers and other observers of Asia (journalists,
diplomats, analysts), and, more generally, between the
academic sphere and the private one. Irasec is a research
institute that undertakes a highly reactive fieldwork approach
in deciphering the movements of societies. Moreover, its
work is aimed towards the general public, rather than being
confined to researchers alone. Irasec is proud of the diversity
of its audience. This year, Irasec will be celebrating its tenyear anniversary. Our new objective for the following decade
will continue to be the strengthening of the scientific quality of
our work, of our partnerships with the best universities, think
tanks and editors, in order to keep analyzing the challenges
faced by these newly formed Nation-States, where history is
still in the making.

MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH
Management
In order to strengthen the dialogue with our colleagues in
France who specialize in Southeast Asia, Irasec has devised
a new three-tiered management system, which includes
the piloting committee, the scientific committee and the
laboratory council.
In France, members of the piloting committee and the
scientific committee meet in Paris each year. The last meeting
was held on 28 October 2010 at CHAC at the University of
Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne) thanks to an invitation from
Professor Hugues Tertrais.
In Southeast Asia, the laboratory council convenes once
a year to collectively discuss the overall direction of the
Institute (publications, associate researchers, scholarship
awards) with head CNRS researchers from our satellite
offices (Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta and Singapore). The
last meeting was held on 2 May 2011 in Bangkok.

2
Madinier (Jakarta), Vatthana Pholsena (Singapore), Jacques
Ivanoff (Bangkok), Jérémy Jammes and Benoît de Tréglodé.
Irasec henceforth systematically relies on those present in
the committee to have manuscripts published by the Institute
anonymously examined by experts.
Programmes and Scholarships
There are 7 main topics in Irasec’s interdisciplinary
programmes:
- China and Southeast Asia
- Borders and Ethnicity
- Religious Issues in Southeast Asia
- Migration
- Security Issues
- Changes in the élite communities of Southeast Asia
- Illicit Trafficking in the Greater Mekong Subregion
(Observatory)
Irasec encourages ties between its own research programmes
and those of CNRS researchers by holding congresses and
by producing common publications and special editions in
university journals.
Three New Fieldwork Scholarships from
Irasec: Call for Applications
Irasec is offering three scholarships (doctorate and postdoctorate) to support fieldwork in Southeast Asia from
1 November 2011. These scholarships are given on a
6-month basis and are not subject to renewal. The Irasec
scholarship can go up to €6,000, which includes a €830
research scholarship each month and a plane ticket from
Paris to Southeast Asia (up to €1,000).
These scholarships are open to doctoral and postdoctoral students who are under 35 years of age. They
must be French nationals and must be students in the
following disciplines: Political Science, Anthropology,
Economics, Geography, Contemporary History, Sociology
and International Relations.
The suggested research project must be relevant to
the 7 aforementioned main topics. Applications will be
evaluated and selected by Irasec’s laboratory council.
The student will conduct his/her personal research project
with the Institute’s scientific and logistical support. In
return, the candidate’s fieldwork is to be published as an
Irasec occasional paper (either as an individual or as part
of a team).

In an effort to encourage the work of our various locally
present researchers, Irasec strives to support them by
providing:
- Short-term fieldwork scholarships for doctoral students (and
post-doctoral in 2011-2012)
- Fieldwork funding in Southeast Asia for French and
Southeast Asian researchers (52 French, Asian and European
researchers currently have research contracts with Irasec).
- Funding or co-funding for publications in France (Les Indes
savantes, CNRS Editions, Presses de l’ENS, La découverte,
etc.), locally and internationally (in English – NUS Press,
ISEAS, White Lotus, Silkworm Books and I.B. Tauris-United
Kingdom).
NEW PUBLICATIONS
Books
Dictionnaire des Khmers
rouges (Dictionary of
the Khmer Rouge)
Solomon Kane, Les Indes
savantes-Irasec, 2011, 544 p.
(new revised and augmented
edition)
Between 1975 and 1979,
nearly two million people died
in Cambodia, either as direct or
indirect victims of the authorities
of Democratic Kampuchea, also
known as the Khmer Rouge
regime. This dictionary, which includes nearly 700 entries and
a large amount of iconography, provides what is necessary
to achieve an objective understanding this dark age in the
history of humanity. Here, Solomon Kane gives us an insight
into the anatomy of Khmer Rouge totalitarianism.
L’Asie du Sud-Est 2011.
Les événements majeurs
de l’année (Southeast
Asia 2011: Major Events)
Arnaud Leveau and Benoît
de Tréglodé (eds.), Les Indes
savantes-Irasec, 2011, 410 p.
By providing a retrospective
outlook on the major events of
2011, this book helps one to better
understand the great challenges
of 2011 in a region inhabited by nearly 600 million people,
who are the interface between the great Asian centres more
than they ever have been before. This book is the result of
fieldwork conducted throughout the year by over a dozen
French and Asian researchers and experts, providing a
pertinent and contemporary understanding of complex,
dense and dynamic Asian news developments.
Passage sur le
Mékong (Passage
over the Mekong)
Guy Lubeigt and Jérôme
Ming, Tuk-Tuk ÉditionsIrasec, 2011, 128 p.
These images, taken by
photographer Jérôme Ming,
show the diversity of the
various landscapes that surround the Mekong. However,
this long sweet journey is not safe from the threats to the
rich heritage of the countries through which the Mekong
River runs. In a time where environmental issues are of
great concern, Guy Lubeigt (CNRS) makes an alarming yet
salutary observation on the conservation challenges faced by
the architectural jewels of Southeast Asia.
Thaïlande contemporaine
(Contemporary Thailand)
Stéphane Dovert and Jacques
Ivanoff (eds.), Les Indes
savantes-Irasec, 2011, XLVIII624 p. (new revised and
augmented edition)
Through an analysis of the
country’s historic and economic
fundamentals, and an observation
of its educational system
and its latent cultural forces,
Contemporary Thailand adopts a
critical, modern and original approach to understanding what
has shaped Thailand into becoming a unique and contrasting
country. This monograph compiles the work of 21 authors
who discuss freely how this national ideology is structured,
thus enabling a re-evaluation of the complex issue of Thai
identity in the face of globalization.

The End of Innocence.
Indonesian Islam and the
Tempations of Radicalism
Andrée Feillard and Rémy
Madinier, NUS Press-KITLVUniversity of Hawaii Press,
Singapore-Leiden-Hawaii,
2011, 336 p. (updated English
translation of La fin de
l’innocence).
Indonesia is the biggest Muslim
country in the world, and is
often referred to as a model for
religious harmony. The authors distance themselves from
such interpretations, which are often hollow assumptions
derived from essentialist theories. Instead, André Feillard
and Rémy Madinier rethink the evolution of Indonesian Islam
within the broader context of the archipelago’s recent history.
Here, the authors develop a rigorous analysis of the roots
and causes of “radical temptation”, deciphering its ideology
and mechanisms, thus revealing how it has been politically
manipulated.
Alternatives agricoles
en Thaïlande.
De la riziculture
à la globalisation
(Thailand’s Agrobusiness
Achievements: from
Rice Agriculture to
Globalization)
Roland Poupon, Irasec–Kailash,
2010, 420 p.
Once again, famine has become
a worrying global issue according
to forecasters. Rural poverty appears to be preventing the
peasantry from entering the modern world. With this in mind,
how could we could we not take into account the high surplus
oriented Thai agricultural model, capable of adapting itself
to the new production and trade conditions of agricultural
commodities? By adopting a holistic and interdisciplinary
approach (economics, history, geography and agronomy),
Roland Poupon traces the roots of the initial
genesis of Thai food supply chains and the
transition from subsistence rice agriculture to the
globalization of trade.
New Dynamics between China
and Japan in Asia. How to Build
the Future from the Past?
Guy Faure (ed.), World Scientific, 2010, 350 p.
This book is a study of ties between China and
Japan and their Asian counterparts. It does not
therefore directly treat bilateral relations between
4
these powers, as these already constitute the subject of
many other studies. A lengthy perspective has been taken
into account in order to recall past legacies, some of which
are still painfully contentious, and to record evolutions in
attitudes and strategies vis-à-vis Asian countries.
Sustainability
of Thailand’s
Competitiveness.
The Policy Challenges
Patarapong Intarakumnerd and
Yveline Lecler (eds.), Institute of
Southeast Asian Studies, 2010,
XIV-332 p.
Competitiveness of a country
requires continuous upgrading and,
sometimes, major transformation.
Thailand is at the crossroad. It can
no longer pursue a strategy based on low-cost advantages,
but its capability achievements are still too low to become
an advanced economy. This book points out weaknesses
of Thailand’s national innovation system or education and
suggests how the country should develop new capabilities to
survive and prosper in the globalized and fiercely competitive
world.
