Outline of Annual Research Achievements

This study illuminated how statist and non-statist actors shape one another along borders, amidst the volatile global geopolitics and capitalism. A key achievement was a conceptual framework development for understanding the "state-and-border economic detriment", challenging the statist studies of the sovereignty-capitalization nexus. Key insights were contributed to: a co-edited book; the Kyodai’s international, annual "Southeast Asia Seminar" and its special issue in an online journal; an international seminar in Kyoto; a presentation in Malaysia; two in-press articles; and four peer-reviewed journal articles by Dr. Xiaobo Hua, our collaborator. Based on this, a project is developed to explore relations between: health, border, marginality, transdisciplinarity, protracted armed conflict.
