The Blog on Diplomacy in Southeast Asia

The blog on Diplomacy in Southeast Asia is aimed at starting new conversations and sets the diplomacy of Southeast Asia in a broader context, making it part of a global history debate on premodern diplomacy.

Originating from an initiative at the third conference of the Global Diplomacy Network, Birgit Tremml-Werner and Lisa Hellman launched a blog series together with the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS). Nowadays known as [The Blog], it has emerged as a popular guest blogging initiative hosted, maintained, and promoted by the IIAS.

Each post offers a comparative and collaborative rethinking from a number of scholars working in the field of Southeast Asian studies and the topics span from the terminology of inter-state relations, to marriage patterns and indigenous agency.

The conversations included in the blog posts are meant to be open-ended and seen as creative ways to rethink what diplomacy has been, and how it has been considered.
