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

宗教一直是印尼(伊斯兰教)和泰国(佛教)国家政权的核心，无论是在历史上还是在最近经济和政治环境的戏剧性变化中都是如此。这项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是如何与政治权威相关的。它将分析：(1)比较伊斯兰和佛教原教旨主义；(2)民主化和国家对宗教影响的模式变化；(3)市场化、大众媒体和宗教作为流行文化，从而填补全球化文献中的主要空白，并超越单一国家研究东南亚地区事务的局限。

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.
