This project will study the social interaction in business and social settings in which people from different ethnic and religious backgrounds come together in two places in Southeast Asia, Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Building on a larger research and training project funded by the Ford Foundation, the project will carry out in-depth ethnographic research on the social resources for market and social participation in these two multiethnic urban environments. The project will study the role of middle-range businesses, religious organizations, and locally-based non-governmental organizations in fostering social pluralism and civic participation. The investigator and local colleagues will conduct participant observation and in depth interviews with a range of participants in these social environments, focusing on activities and social contexts which affect, positively and negatively, the interaction of distinct ethnic and religious groups. By studying situations where religious, ethnic, and economic divisions are full of tension as well as situations of novel initiatives to develop new structures of civility and participation, this sort of comparative ethnography will provide new knowledge to advance our understanding of the roots of democratic society, the broad-based participation and civil interaction of diverse ethnic and religious people.

这个项目将研究来自不同种族和宗教背景的人在印度尼西亚日惹和马来西亚吉隆坡这两个东南亚地区的商业和社会环境中的社会互动。在福特基金会资助的一个更大的研究和培训项目的基础上，该项目将对这两个多民族城市环境中市场和社会参与的社会资源进行深入的民族志研究。该项目将研究中型企业、宗教组织和地方非政府组织在促进社会多元化和公民参与方面的作用。研究人员和当地同事将对这些社会环境中的一系列参与者进行参与者观察和深度访谈，重点关注积极和消极影响不同种族和宗教群体互动的活动和社会背景。通过研究宗教、种族和经济分歧充满紧张的情况，以及发展新的文明和参与结构的新举措的情况，这种比较民族志将提供新的知识，以促进我们对民主社会根源的理解，不同种族和宗教人士的广泛参与和公民互动。
