Introduction of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at SCNU
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at South China Normal University (SCNU) was established in June 2017 as a country and region studies (CRS) center approved and filed with the Ministry of Education of China. It is positioned as a specialized research institution for studying Southeast Asia and ASEAN and an institution for cultivating Southeast Asian and ASEAN research talents. It serves as a specialized research institution on Southeast Asia and ASEAN, and as a platform for cultivating talents in this field. The center functions as a think tank with advisory roles, a professional base integrating basic research, applied promotion and talent training, and a collaborative innovation platform for advancing regional exchanges and cooperation. The center has set up a comprehensive organizational structure, including the General Office, Research Office, Cooperation and Exchange Office, Business Development Office, Academic Office, Training Office, IT Office, Secretariat of the Southeast Asia Forum, and Publishing Office. In the Ministry of Education’s special assessment, it ranked among the top and was designated as a High-level Construction Unit (Class I). The current director is Professor Wu Jian.
The center has been selected as a CTTI source think tank, forming a “five-in-one” development framework, including 1 carrier (CSEAS/School of Southeast Asian Chinese Teacher Education), 1 discipline (interdisciplinary discipline in “Southeast Asian Studies”), 1 forum (Southeast Asian Forum), 1 alliance (Southern Alliance for International Chinese Education), and 1 journal (Southeast Asian Studies).
Relying on the center, the School of Southeast Asian Chinese Teacher Education was established in November 2021. It is the world’s first school of international Chinese teachers, co-founded by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education and SCNU. It plays a leading role in international Chinese teacher training, ASEAN talent cultivation, and promoting China-foreign language exchange and cooperation.
As an open, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary institution, the center brings together the research strengths, talent training, and professional services of multiple SCNU faculties, as well as domestic and international Southeast Asian research resources. It is the first in China to advance the discipline-building and talent cultivation of Southeast Asian Studies as a distinctive CRS field. It has admitted master’s and doctoral students, established a complete training program and curriculum, and formed an academic committee and tutor team. Anchored in Master’s and doctoral programs across history, literature, law, economics, education, and geography, it promotes cross-disciplinary integration, with distinctive strengths in political geography, education, culture, and communication, thereby advancing both theoretical and practical innovations in CRS.
The center jointly built a foreign-related think tank with the Foreign Affairs Office of Guangdong Province and an academic exchange mechanism with the Guangdong International Cultural Exchange Center. It promotes the building of an academic community for Southeast Asian studies, serving as the joint executive chairman, chief expert unit, and founding unit of the China Association of Area and National Studies, as well as a founding unit of the CRS Research Branch of the China Association of Higher Education, and a member unit of the “Global South” Academic Research Community; under the framework of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance, it is also a co-founding unit of the “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance for CRS.”
The center has established a “Belt and Road” themed academic exchange mechanism and launched the Southeast Asia Forum as a high-level, pragmatic, and permanent platform for promoting integrated innovation and synergistic development across the political, academic, business, and social sectors. Since 2017, the Forum has been held annually in November, linking the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, Hainan Free Trade Port, and Southeast Asia, and has become an important venue for professional research and regional cooperation. It has attracted strong support from government departments, academic associations, and the media, gaining wide social influence.
The Center advances the joint establishment of the “International Communication Research Base” with the Publicity Department of the Guangdong Provincial Committee, accelerating the construction of the discourse system for Southeast Asian country and regional studies. It initiated and established the “Southern Alliance for International Chinese Language Education”, enhancing discourse guidance capacity through international Chinese education; based in the Greater Bay Area, it advances the work of international communication of discourse, organizing the Guangdong Provincial training program on country and regional studies in 2024; on frontier and specialized issues, it conducts efficient and in-depth collaboration with international peers, forming a multi-sourced and internationalized academic network. It has created a multilingual Southeast Asian social media platform (in Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese), closely linking with mainstream media platforms at home and abroad, and promoting the implementation of the “China Solution”, the “Greater Bay Area Opportunity”, and the “Guangdong Characteristic” through the practice of country and regional industry-academia-research integration.
The center actively provides advisory reports, participates in government consultation meetings and undertakes various policy research projects, and actively plays the role of advisory services. It has hosted Lancang-Mekong international cooperation projects, national social science/natural science foundation projects, major research projects of the National Language Commission, key projects of national and regional research of the Ministry of Education, and provincial and municipal projects. The findings have been adopted or approved in full by multiple government departments at the national, ministerial, provincial and municipal levels, and a series of works have been published in authoritative domestic and foreign journals. The “Southeast Asian Studies Series”, “Southeast Asian Overseas Chinese Biography Series”, “Belt and Road Initiative” and Southeast Asian Education Research Series, Chinese Language Education Internationalization Theory and Practice Research Series, etc. have been published or are planned to be published, and the “ASEAN Cultural Blue Book” series of development reports have been co-written. The Center has also won the “China Industry-University-Research Cooperation Promotion Award”, “Belt and Road” International Education Exchange Award, “Guangdong Province Philosophy and Social Science Outstanding Achievement Award First Prize”, “Guangdong Province Education and Teaching Achievement Award (Higher Education) First Prize” and other awards. The Southeast Asian Studies Publishing Office was established to organize, manage and operate the Southeast Asian Studies journal, serve the publication and dissemination of results with Southeast Asian studies as the main content at home and abroad, and develop international Chinese education resources.
The center has been conducting Southeast Asian studies and the relevant practices consistently and established cooperation mechanisms with senior officials and elites in Southeast Asian countries. It set up 8 overseas research offices in 7 Southeast Asian countries, the Pingdingshan College Office at Henan Pingdingshan College, and the Hainan Office in Hainan Free Trade Port; collaborated with Southeast Asian universities such as the Universitas Indonesia, National University of Laos, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Universiti Malaya and University of the Philippines; helped establish a graduate teaching point in Penang, Malaysia; jointly trained overseas Chinese Buddhism graduate students; partnered with domestic and foreign governments, schools, enterprises, and institutes, including the Cambodia Development Resource Institute, Peking University’s Institute of Area Studies, Henan Academy of Social Sciences, Macau University of Science and Technology, and various government, academic, business, and social institutions. It strengthens information exchange, resource sharing, and supply-demand matching with Party schools (administrative institutes), academies of social sciences, publicity, united front, education, and foreign affairs departments, as well as with enterprises, chambers of commerce, associations, media, and think tanks, carrying out social service work in specialized studies in CRS.
