Comparative politics has witnessed periodic debates between proponents of contextually sensitive area studies research and others who view such work as unscientific,noncumulative, or of limited relevance for advancing broader social science knowledge. In Southeast Asia in Political Science: Theory, Region, and Qualitative Analysis, edited by Erik Martinez Kuhonta, Dan Slater, and Tuong Vu, a group of bright, young Southeast Asianists argue that contextually sensitive research in Southeast Asia using qualitative research methods has made fundamental and lasting contributions to comparative politics. They challenge other Southeast Asianists to assert proudly the contributions that their work has made and urge the rest of the comparative politics discipline to take these contributions seriously. This symposium includes four short critical reviews of Southeast Asia in Political Science by political scientists representing diverse scholarly traditions. The reviews address both the methodological and the theoretical orientations of the book and are followed by a response from the editors.

Democracy and opposition are supposed to go hand in hand. Opposition did not emerge as automatically as expected after Indonesia democratized, however, because presidents shared power much more widely than expected. The result has been what I call party cartelization, Indonesian-style. This differs significantly from canonical cases of party cartelization in Europe. Yet it exhibits the same troubling outcome for democratic accountability: the stunted development of a clearly identifiable party opposition. Since the advent of direct presidential elections in 2004, Indonesian democratic competition has unsurprisingly assumed somewhat more of a government vs. opposition cast. But this shift has arisen more from contingent failures of elite bargaining than from any decisive change in the power-sharing game. So long as Indonesia's presidents consider it strategically advantageous to share power with any party that declares its support, opposition will remain difficult to identify and vulnerable to being extinguished entirely in the world's largest emerging democracy.
Standoffish States: Nonliterate Leviathans in Southeast Asia
Dan Slater,Diana Kim 서강대학교 동아연구소 2015 TRaNS(Trans –Regional and –National Studies of Sou Vol.3 No.1
Under what conditions do states strive to homogenise their populations, rendering them ‘legible’ for state-making projects? Virtually all conditions, according to James Scott’s landmark treatise, The Art of Not Being Governed. Whereas Scott sees states’ appetites to standardise their populations for purposes of control and extraction as practically universal, we see this appetite as radically and fascinatingly uneven. Much as Scott sees mobile populations as ‘nonliterate’ due to their disinterest in (and not their ignorance of) the purported fruits of civilisation, we see Leviathans as frequently ‘nonliterate’ in their disinclination (and not simply their incapacity) to actively administer their subjects and territory: even in Southeast Asia, the region that has done more than any other to generate Scott’s theories of state power and practice. We thus argue that the world is riddled with standoffish states, not just standardising states. Even in the zones where the potential costs of eschewing the pursuit of legibility appear highest – those containing violent insurgencies – states can prove surprisingly disinterested in pursuing centralised governance in a highly administrative manner. We highlight four alternative strategies – indirect rule, divide and conquer, militarised pacification, and forcible expulsion – that states commonly deploy to fulfil what we see as their most fundamental objective: preventing political challenges to the ruling centre.
A unique Lepidopteran assemblage in primary forest understory of central Sri Lanka
Caitlin Slater,Carl Tolley,Chandima Fernando,Michael A. Weston 국립중앙과학관 2019 Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Vol.12 No.2
Sri Lankan Lepidopterans are diverse and increasingly inhabit areas undergoing rapid anthropogenic change. We examined butterfly assemblages in five habitat types in central Sri Lanka, an area with a mosaic of habitat types (primary and secondary forest, wetland margins, shrubland, and home gardens). Sixteen quadrats in each habitat type were repeat-sampled. Quadrats differed in proportional cover of different microhabitats and in microclimate. Butterfly abundance and richness were lowest in primary forests (PFs). Assemblages of butterflies were generally similar across all habitat types with the exception of PFs, which featured a unique assemblage. This study reinforces the importance of PFs in butterfly conservation as it harbors a unique and relatively low-abundance assemblage of species.
Xunzi, Dewey, and the Reinterpretation of Religion
Michael R. Slater 성균관대학교 유교문화연구소 2022 儒敎文化硏究(中文版) Vol.- No.38
This paper compares the naturalistic interpretations of religion offered by the Chinese Confucian philosopher Xunzi (c. 310-219 BCE) and the American pragmatist philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952), and shows how each philosopher reconceived the nature of religious life in fundamentally non-supernatural, ethical, and therapeutic terms. While acknowledging that there are important differences between their respective views—especially on such matters as the nature and scope of ethical knowledge, the nature of ethics, and what form an ideal society will take—and that their views were furthermore shaped by very different historical and cultural contexts, the paper argues that both philosophers nevertheless took this naturalized, ethical and therapeutic conception of religion to be the correct and more profound way to understand religious life, and the best way to develop an appropriate sense of oneness with and reverence for the social and natural worlds that we inhabit. For both Xunzi and Dewey, in short, religious attitudes, experiences, and practices are valuable not because they put us into proper relations with something supernatural, but rather because of their capacity to orient and enrich our lives at both the individual and social levels and put us into proper relations with other human beings and the natural world. Overall, the paper argues that a comparative study of Xunzi’s and Dewey’s interpretations of religion not only reveals features of their thought that we might otherwise miss, but also helps us to better understand the range of possible forms that a naturalistic interpretation of religion can take.
Testing for the Long-Run Reationship between Inflation and its Variability
Park, Young Bae,Slater, Jin R.,Kim, Jong Soo 한국생산성학회 1997 THE JOURNAL OF PRODUCTIVITY Vol.3 No.1
In this paper the long-run relationship between relative price and inflation has been examined for the U.K historical price data set. Generally, the traditional inference procedures are inappropriate since relative price and inflation series are non-stationary. Two significant findings are reported in the paper. First, it is demonstrated, using a multivariate cointegration technique, that a long-run relationship between relative price and inflation is an exist. Second, we apply the Phillips-Hansen fully modified estimation to test this relationship and found that the relationships can be rejected for all the sample periods examined.

Tyre disposal is currently an undervalued and underused venture that could yield economical and environmental benefits. This investigation was to test the viability of recycling a tyre through heating the tyre to 600°C in an oxygen free enclosure until decomposed into its three original components: carbon black, nylon and high quality diesel fuel. This method was tested through heating different sized tyre fragments in a crucible with a Bunsen burner then recording the yield of each component. Tests showed that this method of tyre recycling achieved a 23-46% average yield of highly recyclable components (diesel and carbon black.) This method provides a viable solution to the ever growing issue that tyre waste is causing today.
