Views on the future are based on supplies from a relatively stable Middle East and continued economic growth in the southeast Asian and Pacific countries. Under these circumstances the oil market for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will expand considerably during the decade of the 90's. Pacific country demand, 5.92 MMB/D, in 1990 is likely to grow to 7.06 MMB/D in 2000. Regional production could supply about 40% of this. The Asia-Pacific shortage of refining capacity could lead to high regional refined product prices and healthy refining profit margins.

The article discusses the main results of two major international summits held in October-November 2021, the key topics of which were the issues of the global fight against climate change and environmental protection. The decisions taken at these conferences, with the broad participation of world leaders, reflect the fundamental trends of the global environmental agenda. Within the framework of this agenda, Japan and the countries of Southeast Asia are building their modern energy and environmental cooperation. In this context, the article examines the main urgent tasks of energy-environmental interaction and sustainable development of Japan and the states of Southeast Asia. These countries are located in the Asia-Pacific region, which remains until now the main emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. However, the indicators of environmental pollution by Japan and the Southeast Asian countries are relatively not so high, compared to some other states in the region and the world. The article discusses the most relevant and significant examples of bilateral and multilateral cooperation between these countries in areas related to curbing global warming and climate protection. It has been revealed that with all the efforts made, since the 1990s, the indicators of reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere in Japan remain modest and even lag behind some of the Western countries. The Southeast Asian countries show a serious attitude to the development of renewable energy, but their intention to abandon coal still raises some doubts about the methods of implementing this ambitious plan. In particular, it is currently not entirely clear whether these countries are preparing to make a full-fledged "energy transition" in the coming decades, or whether they just intend to replace their coal-fired thermal power plants with gas ones.

The mismatch between jobs and skills indicates the match model in the job market is not going well, which is referred to as (e.g.) labor match, which leads to overeducation and undereducation in the job market. This research was conducted to find the influence of growth, overeducation and undereducation on wages in Southeast Asia. The data used is secondary data sourced from https://ilostat.ilo.org/data/ data in 2010-2019, especially in 8 Southeast Asian countries consisting of Brunai Darusalam, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Timor Leste and Vietnam. The results found that the workers with the highest undereducated levels were in Timor Laste, then Laos and Cambodia. Worker conditions in developing countries such as Southeast Asia have more undereducation conditions than overeducation. Economic growth, overeducation and undereducatio affect workers' wages. Keywords: overeducation, undereducation, mismatch, labor

Female Roles

Relations between the sexes are one of the areas in which a distinctive Southeast Asian pattern exists. Even the gradual strengthening of the influence of Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism in their respective spheres over the last four centuries has by no means eliminated this common pattern of relatively high female autonomy and economic importance. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the region probably represented one extreme of human experience on these issues. It could not be said that women were equal to men, since there were very few areas in which they competed directly. Women had different functions from men, but these included transplanting and harvesting rice, weaving, and marketing. Their reproductive role gave them magical and ritual powers which it was difficult for men to match. These factors may explain why the value of daughters was never questioned in Southeast Asia as it was in China, India, and the Middle East; on the contrary, ‘the more daughters a man has, the richer he is’ (Galvão, 1544: 89; cf. Legazpi, 1569: 61).

<p>Abstrak: Beberapa ahli memperkirakan ada sekitar 1,6 miliar orang Muslim di dunia, di mana 62.1 % dari mereka hidup di kawasan Asia. Hanya 15 % adalah Muslim Arab, sedangkan hampir sepertiga hidup di Asia Tenggara. Islam di Asia Tenggara relatif lebih moderat dibandingkan Islam di Timur Tengah. Sifat moderasi ini merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisah dari perkembangan Islam di Asia Tenggara. Islam sampai ke Asia Tenggara melalui jalur perdagangan dan tidak melalui penaklukan militer seperti yang banyak terjadi di dunia Arab, Asia Selatan dan Timur Tengah. Islam juga diwarnai pada paham animisme, Hindu, dan tradisi Buddha di Indonesia, yang memberikan ciri sinkritisme. Islam baru tersebar di Asia Tenggara pada akhir abad ke-17. Kebangkitan Islam telah mengubah wajah politik  Islam di Asia Tenggara. Memang benar bahwa Islam Asia Tenggara termasuk di antara Islam yang sangat minimal corak kearabannya yang diakibatkan oleh proses islamisasi yang pada umumnya berlangsung damai.</p><p><br />Abctract: The Contribution of Islam towards Southeast Asian Future Civilization. By some estimates there are approximately 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, of which 62.1% live in Asia. Only 15% of Muslims are Arab, while almost one third live in Southeast Asia. Islam in Southeast Asia is relatively more moderate in character than in much of the Middle East. This moderation stems in part from the way Islam evolved in Southeast Asia. Islam came to Southeast Asia with traders rather than through military conquest as it did in much of South Asia and the Arab Middle East. Islam also was overlaid on animist, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions in Indonesia, which are said to give it a more syncretic aspect. Islam spread throughout much of Southeast Asia by the end of the seventeenth century. The Islamic revival is changing the face of political Islam in Southeast Asia. It is true that Southeast Asian Islam is among the least Arabicized forms of Islam, largely as a result of a process of Islamization that was generally peaceful.</p><p><br />Kata Kunci: Islam, Asia Tenggara, peradaban</p>

AbstractAgainst the general background of the transmission of Muhammad 'Abduh's ideas about reform to Southeast Asia, as reflected in al-Manār, I examine requests for fatwās relating to affairs in the archipelago. These requests emanated from three groups: Southeast Asian students in the Middle East, Arabs living in Southeast Asia, and indigenous Southeast Asian readers of al-Manār. The fatwās examined here relate to three themes: Islam and modernity, religious practices, and aspirations for religious reform. I conclude that al-Manār created a new mode of discourse for Southeast Asian Islam in which the mustaftī and the muftī were not pupils and teachers but fellow discussants of reform in societies undergoing similar challenges.

Voices of Islam in Southeast Asia is partly the outcome of a trend in thescholarship on Southeast Asian Islam that has gained momentum from themid-1980s onwards: namely, a corrective of the tendency to regard Islam asa “thin veneer” (as the Dutch historian van Leur had described it) over mucholder and supposedly more profound cultural deposits from the Indian subcontinent.The tremendous influence of the late Clifford Geertz’s characterizationsin his The Religion of Java (University of Chicago Press: 1976 [newed.]) only seemed to confirm this. However, a younger generation of American anthropologists, among them John Bowen, Robert Hefner, and MarkWoodward, explicitly challenged that view when they began publishingtheir findings in the 1980s. These writings showed that there was a vibrantand truly “Islamic” cultural legacy in Indonesia and elsewhere.The present volume also demonstrates the significance of the Australianacademe’s role in furthering our understanding of Islam in Southeast Asia.Both editors are associated with the Australian National University(ANU), one of “Downunder’s” epicentres of Southeast Asian studies. GregFealy is a recognized authority on the Nahdlatul Ulama, the mass organizationuniting more than 20 million of Indonesia’s traditionalist Muslims,while Virginia Hooker is a leading scholar in the field of Malay-Muslim literatureand history. In fact, the pioneering research of two former ANU academics,Anthony Johns and his student Peter Riddell, provided importantevidence of the close, long-standing, and sustained contacts of Muslimscholars from the “Lands below the Winds” with centers of Islamic learningin the Middle East ...

Southeast Asia is an ever growing region. Since 1970, the region hasshown a strongperformance in economic growth and it’s still continued even today. However, the strong economic growth of Southeast Asia also lead to serious externalities in a form of environmental degradation. Deforestation and pollution which has been done in one country affected the nearby countries as well, decreasing the air quality in urban area, and creating many cases of economic losses and health issues. At one point, the Southeast Asian countries realized that environmental degradation is a transnational problem which needed a transnational solution. Regionalism, which is facilitated by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), became the solution they seek. This paper attempts to explain the process of Environmental regionalism that has happened in Southeast Asia from 1977-2000. The paper concludes that the process of environmental regionalism in Southeast Asia is still stucked in the third phase of regionalism. Lacks of mutual identity between ASEAN members prevents environmental regionalism process in Southeast Asia to advance to the fourth phase. However, the paper also shown some probabilities for it to happen in near future. Keyword: ASEAN, Environment, Regionalism, Regionness,

This paper examines the governance of forced migration in Southeast Asia. The region hosts about 2.5 million of forcibly displaced migrants from a worldwide total of 70 million (2018). The migrants include intra- ASEAN and non-ASEAN refugees or asylum seekers, notably from the Middle East.  Based on a review of recent literature, the paper investigates three main destination states in SEA that host the majority of the forced migrants; Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The paper examines (i) local policies in the governance of forced migrants and (2) the practice of non-refoulement principle. The findings reveal that in terms of forced migration governance, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are ‘same but different'; meaning that despite being similar, each country produces different outcomes.
