Highlights

COVID-19 in Southeast Asia: insights for a post-pandemic world / edited by Hyun Bang Shin, Murray Mckenzie, and Do Young Oh. London: LSE Press, 2022.

Call no: RA644 C87C873

COVID-19 presented huge challenges to governments, businesses, civil societies, and people from all walks of life, but its impact has been highly variegated, affecting society in multiple negative ways, with uneven geographical and socioeconomic patterns across Southeast Asia. The crisis revealed existing contradictions and inequalities in society, compelling us to question what it means to return to ‘normal’ and what insights can be gleaned from Southeast Asia for thinking about a post-pandemic world — Publisher.

The candidate’s dilemma: anticorruptionism and money politics in Indonesian election campaigns / Elisabeth Kramer. Ithaca New York: Southeast Asia Program Publications, an imprint of Cornell University Press, 2022.

Call no: JQ779 A4K89

This book considers the ‘puzzle’ of how those vying for a seat in Indonesia’s national legislature make decisions about their campaigns, telling this story through the eyes of three self-identified anticorruption candidates. It explores how these candidates navigate the pressure to engage in money politics and vote-buying while electioneering — Publisher.
