Religion and Politics in Southeast Asia comes from a conference held at Pace University on November 8, 2019. The conference, “Religious and Cultural Drivers and Responses to the Political Dynamics in Southeast Asia,” had the goal of reaching across academic disciplines and addressing some of the interesting phenomena occurring at the nexus of religion and politics.

Based on presentations given at the New York Southeast Asia Network conference held at Pace University in April 2021, Empire Competition examines Southeast Asia and its continuously shifting power dynamics with other countries and with China in particular. Pace faculty Dr. Amy Freedman and Dr. Joseph Tse Hei-Lee are the editors of this peer-reviewed journal.
