Letter from The
SEACSN Regional Coordinator
Vietnam is a fascinating country that I have had the
privilege of visiting in my role of SEACSN Regional Coordinator.
In this issue we focus on two different aspects of Vietnam.
Firstly, ‘Vietnam: Searching for long lasting peace
and ethnic equality’ an interesting overview prepared
by our colleagues in SEACSN Vietnam. Secondly, an article
entitled ‘Environmental conflict in Ha Long Bay’.
This is the condensed version of the research report
submitted by Dr Wongsa Laohasiriwong from Khon Kaen University,
on completion of her research undertaken as part of the
SEACSN Research and Exchange Programme.
To give readers an opportunity to hear about the other
side of the SEACSN Research and Exchange Programme, we
also include ‘A Rookie Researcher’s report’ by
Assistant Professor Nikki Briones, from De La Salle University,
Philippines. This article focuses on the process of being
involved with the Research and Exchange Programme. I
hope it will encourage any readers who may be unsure
as to whether or not to apply, to give it further serious
consideration.
We are also delighted to include ‘Brunei Darussalam – A
nation in peace’ by Dr B. A. Husseinmiya, University
of Brunei Darussalem. Dr Husseinmiya is a Senior Lecturer
at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam and has written a
couple of books about the country.
We have also included information about the SEACSN conference
which will be held in Penang, Malaysia in January 2004.
We would like to encourage our members (and non-members
to attend. The call for papers is currently going on
and we encourage people to forum panels for this conference.
Lets hope that this will be successful conference for
all.
We hope that you learn from and enjoy this Bulletin.
