About the Project

Project term: April, 2020–March, 2023

The general goal of this project is to clarify the impacts of Islamic transnational networks including those based on so called Islamism (or various versions of it) on local societies and cultures of various Southeast Asian countries mainly through the members’ field researches. In this study, we are also to re-examine the local responses and reactions to the impacts of transnational Islam from a comparative perspective. For this purpose, we will invite researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, such as anthropology, history, political science, area studies and Islamic studies, to contribute to the project. We will organize various workshops and/or conferences both at ILCAA (Tokyo) and at the Kota Kinabalu Liaison Office (KKLO) in Malaysia, an international research office of ILCAA. This is an advanced research project based on the preceding three-term project “Multi-disciplinary Study on Islam and Cultural Diversity in Southeast Asia”.
