Call for Panelists for AAS 2026: The (Infra)Structure of Cold War in Southeast Asia

Deadline: July 10, 2025

We are seeking additional panelists for a proposed session at the Association for Asian Studies 2026 Annual Conference, to be held March 12–15, 2026 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Set against the backdrop of competing colonialisms, overlapping imperialisms, and intensifying local ethno-political tensions, the Cold War in Southeast Asia unfolded through complex entanglements involving militarization, authoritarianism, democratization, and developmentalism. Our panel conceptualizes the Cold War not only as a geopolitical formation but also as a material and affective infrastructure in Southeast Asia. Infrastructure here encompasses more than physical facilities — it functions as a mediator of power, a channel for the circulation of ideas, an outlet for emotions, and ultimately a framework for organizing everyday life. Therefore, our central concern is how the Cold War was operationalized and contested through the built environment, logistical networks, and politics of representation.
