Radiation Measurements

Radiation measurement is a key technology for various sciences. The education of radiation science is demanding in Southeast Asian countries. We are collaborating with Universities in Southeast Asia. Hands-on exercise is important. However, it was not so easy to provide enough number of setups. Recent developments change the situation. The granularity of detectors in particle physics and medical apparatus is increasing. It means detector unit becomes smaller and less expensive. We are developing setups for radiation measurement exercises based on those new developments. Those system is portable to carry. In Osaka University, we are organizing schools for radiation measurements inviting Southeast Asian students. In addition, we are organizing schools in Southeast Asia. Compact system helps us to carry.

Foreign Affiliates

The author aims to examine the nature and organisation of transnational business networks. From an empirical study of some 111 parent Hong Kong transnational corporations (TNCs) and 63 of their foreign affiliates in Southeast Asia, he argues that the role and functions of TNC affiliates are critically dependent on their embeddedness in transnational business networks. These transnational business networks can be organised either within TNCs (intrafirm) or with local firms (interfirm). This network embeddedness of TNC affiliates is socially organised and can be strategically deployed to facilitate the extension of network associations through time and space. Two detailed case studies of business networks of Hong Kong TNCs (HKTNCs) in Southeast Asia present several interesting illustrations. First, the strategic strength and spatial reach of intrafirm networks determine the competitive advantage of Hong Kong TNCs in the regional economy. Better integration and regional coverage are the winning strategies of Hong Kong firms in Southeast Asia. Second, the embeddedness of foreign affiliates in the business networks of HKTNCs are socially constructed. Personal relationships and business association among leading actors in HKTNC networks provide the underlying organising principles of such network formation. Third, the functions and contributions of local Southeast Asian affiliates to overall group performance are related to their access to local business and other forms of interfirm networks. Local affiliates with strong networking capabilities tend to receive more support and coordination from parent TNCs. In the concluding section the author offers some implications for recent developments in network theory in economic geography and geographies of Chinese business networks in Asia.

East And Southeast Asia

Our review starts by considering the regional development of East and Southeast Asia. We then address major trends related to international migration within the region. First, we focus on labor migration, which has been a dominant type of migration in the region in the last four decades. We highlight consequences such as development in the destination area, remittances, and children who are left behind. Second, we highlight recent developments in research related to migrant domestic helpers. In this review, we argue that most studies about migrants in East and Southeast Asia are descriptive in nature, because limited data are available for detailed analysis. Consequently, there has been little opportunity or effort to theorize the migration patterns in the region. Our review suggests the need to move beyond case studies and descriptive reports and to step up efforts to make theoretical contributions to international migration in East and Southeast Asia.

Recent Developments

This collection of essays is a spin-off of a workshop held in December1997, which was jointly organized by the venerable Koninklijk Instituutvoor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (the Royal Institute of Linguistics andAnthropology) and the more recently established International Institute ofAsian Studies in Leiden, the Netherlands. Both are important resource centersfor the study of Islam in Southeast Asia and are closely connected withLeiden University, which has a formidable reputation as a centuries-oldcenter of learning in Islamic and Asian studies. Publications like the presentone show that academic institutions with roots in the colonial past andwhich were once part of the now much-criticized scholarly tradition of“Orientalism” can reinvent themselves and continue to make valuable contributionsto the study of non-western cultures.Transcending Borders focuses on the phenomenon of Arab settlementin Southeast Asia. Although the role of these migrants in the Islamizationof the Malay–Indonesian archipelago has long been acknowledged, questionspertaining to their integration into Southeast Asian society and theresulting impact on their ethnic identity have received far less attention. Infact, the upsurge in research into these aspects is barely a decade old.However, the most recent developments in Muslim Southeast Asia will certainlykeep that interest alive, because some of the more militant key playersin Southeast Asian Islamic revivalism are themselves of Hadrami orsouthern Arabian descent.The book’s 10 articles approach the study of Arab migration and settlementfrom historical, sociological, anthropological, and Islamologicalperspectives. However, the editors have taken care to ensure that these differentapproaches provide intersecting images of the Arab presence in ...
