RELIGION, POWER AND CRISIS IN INDONESIA AND THAILAND: Islamic and Buddhist Responses to Globalising Markets and Cultures

无论是在历史上还是在最近经济和政治环境的巨大变化中，宗教一直是印度尼西亚（伊斯兰教）和泰国（佛教）国家权力的核心。 本研究探讨如何制度和流行的宗教运动，现在涉及到政治权威在东南亚的经济和战略上最重要的国家。 它将分析：（1）伊斯兰教和佛教原教旨主义的比较;（2）民主化和国家对宗教影响的变化模式;（3）市场化，大众媒体和宗教作为流行文化，从而填补了全球化文献的主要空白，并超越了东南亚地区事务的单一国家研究的局限性。

Religion has been central to state power in Indonesia (Islam) and Thailand (Buddhism), both historically and throughout recent dramatic shifts in economic and political circumstances. This study examines how institutional and popular religious movements now relate to political authority in Southeast Asia's economically and strategically most important countries. It will analyse: (1) comparative Islamic and Buddhist fundamentalisms; (2) democratisation and changing patterns of state influence on religion; and (3) marketisation, mass media and religion as popular culture, thereby filling major gaps in the globalisation literature and transcending the limitations of single-country studies of Southeast Asian regional affairs.
