One of the main problems faced by teachers and students who have a scholarly interest in Southeast Asia is the lack of general, user-friendly texts in the social sciences. The absence of an introduction to the sociology of Southeast Asia is especially unfortunate. This volume attempts to meet these needs. This is, then, the first sole-authored introductory sociology text on Southeast Asia that focuses on change and development in the region, provides an overview of the important sociological and political economy writings, and considers the key concepts and themes in the field since 1945. Some multiauthored works do exist but these either are outdated or focus on specialized topics. Aimed primarily at undergraduates up to the final year, it will also be a useful reference work for post-graduates and researchers who lack such a general work.

In this collection of essays, we reflect on what it means to practise the social sciences in the twenty-first century. The book brings together leading social scientists from the Asia-Pacific region. We argue for the benefit of dialogue between the diverse theories and methods of social sciences in the region, the role of the social sciences in addressing real-world problems, the need to transcend national boundaries in addressing regional problems, and the challenges for an increasingly globalised higher education sector in the twenty-first century. The chapters are a combination of theoretical reflections and locally focused case studies of processes that are embedded in global dynamics and the changing geopolitics of knowledge. In an increasingly connected world, these reflections will be of global relevance

A major field in the worlds of education, training, and social sciences is the field where learners are inculcated with special interests in society and the relationships between individuals in society. Social science has always been an important instrument that allows us to gain an understanding of social phenomena and changes by providing commentaries, producing explanations, and attempting to synthesize a diversity of information sets to formulate theories. However, as changes take place in nearly every aspect of the modern world at an increasing speed, there quickly emerges new factors that have never been incorporated into the analytical framework in recent decades. Modern Perspectives and Current Trends in Asian Education, Psychology, and Sociology presents the current trends in education, psychology, and sociology. It serves as a collection of empirical research and academic recommendations that are current and contemporary. Covering topics such as learner identity, employee performance, and organizational identification and trust, this major reference work is an essential resource for educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, government officials, librarians, sociologists, psychologists, students of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
