Research interests
My research is at the intersection of area studies and international relations, and aims to add depth to understanding of the dynamics of the Asia Pacific region by highlighting the importance of state preference and national identity. My work on strategic culture, collective memory and institutions focusses on the importance of culture, memory and the construction of history in Southeast Asia, and assessing its role in Southeast Asian defence planning and relations with Great Powers. As a Thai studies scholar, I also research the politics of Thailand and its relations with its neighbours. An emerging research area is the integration of the Mekong sub-region with southern China, which I am exploring through multiple lenses including physical connectivity, geoeconomics and sub-regional community.
