Asian Springs, Asian Winters?–OLLI at U-M (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Speaker: Allen Hicken, Director, Center for Southeast Asian Studies; Associate Professor, Political Science, U-M
Recent events in the Middle East have filled our screens with dramatic images and kept scholars and commentators busy speculating about the future for democracy in that region. Considerably less attention has been given to equally dramatic events unfolding in Southeast Asia. Professor Allen Hicken will discuss new levels of mass mobilization and struggles over democracy in Southeast Asia over the past several years.
Professor Hicken has carried out research in Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Cambodia. He is the author of a book on parties and elections in Thailand and the Philippines, Building Party Systems in Developing Democracies.
