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

印尼和泰国的宗教、权力和危机：伊斯兰教和佛教对全球化市场和文化的反应。宗教一直是印尼（伊斯兰教）和泰国（佛教）国家权力的中心，无论是在历史上还是在最近经济和政治环境的急剧变化中。本研究考察了在东南亚经济和战略上最重要的国家，机构和大众宗教运动现在与政治权威的关系。它将分析：(1)比较伊斯兰教和佛教的原教旨主义；(2)民主化和国家对宗教影响模式的改变；(3)市场化、大众传媒和宗教作为流行文化，从而填补了全球化文献的主要空白，超越了东南亚地区事务单一国家研究的局限性。

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