In Southeast Asia, states’ global aspirati ons and outlook have driven them toward the so-called “western standards” i n governance, economic development, and everyday practices. Within the regi on, various economic, social, and political transformations have been shape d by ideals of “the West” as the model for nation-building, mod ernisation, and knowledge production. Promoted largely under Western and/or international tags by many scholars, policymakers and citizens alike, thes e new ideas, practices, and values often mean different things and advocate different values to different stakeholders. Yet, they also evoke certain i maginaries of what the “West” is. Aspirations toward idealised versions of the West as models for societal advancements intrinsically reveal the under lying imperial and colonial indoctrination that continues to exist in South east Asia, in which imaginations of the West continue to perpetuate an impe rialist hierarchy between the global “core” and “peripheral”, and among the “peripheral”. \n\nAcknowledging and calling attention to the need to move the conversation beyond a neocolonial and comparative gaze from the West, t his panel welcomes contributions that examine how the West is perceived, im agined and practised across Southeast Asia and discipline; as well as de-co lonial and de-imperialising approaches aiming at dismantling the Western-ce ntralism that has constituted the prevailing structure of desire and knowle dge to construct new research understanding and imaginations.
