Edward Aspinall »
My interest in the study of politics, especially Southeast Asian politics, began when I lived in Malang, East Java, as a teenager. After studying Indonesian language and politics at high school and university, I completed my PhD in the Department of Political and Social Change in 2000 on the topic of opposition movements and democratisation in Indonesia. After that, I worked on a range of topics related to Indonesian democratisation and civil society, and especially concerning the separatist conflict in Aceh. My current research interests include ongoing research on Indonesian national politics and democratisation, as well as a comparative project on peace processes in the Asia-Pacific. I am also starting systematic research on the role of ethnicity in everyday politics in Indonesia. I teach on ethnic conflict and internal security in Asia.

Currently, Valerie Braithwaite holds a professorial appointment in the Regulatory Institutions Network where she studies psychological processes in regulation and governance. The main themes are:
identifying institutional practices that generate defiance, undermining the individual’s capacity and willingness to cooperate in core facets of social life from family and school to work and governance. Of primary interest are practices that fail to respect social values, challenge the stress and coping capabilities of individuals, induce poor shame management skills, and frustrate basic needs;
demonstrating how social relationships facilitate the engagement of individuals in institutional life. This work focuses on building trust, recognising shared social values, generating hope and institutionalising dialogue and generosity.
She regularly runs workshops and provides briefings on the adoption of responsive regulatory models by government agencies.

Made in China Journal »
