While Southeast Asia is completing a strong geopolitical sequence and the region remains a strategic area in the relations of influence in the Indo-Pacific, several countries are also focused on electoral agendas and the domestic political dynamics they impel.
The Philippines has seen the holding of a presidential election (May 2022) for which an initial assessment has yet to be made, while the general elections in Malaysia (November 2022) and the presidential one in Timor-Leste (April 2022), followed by the legislative elections in May 2023, open up new dynamics that have yet to be consolidated.
Other upcoming elections show important contrasts between countries, between polls in 2023 with results that are not very uncertain in terms of political renewal, as in Thailand (legislative elections, 14 May) and Cambodia (legislative elections, 23 July), and a campaign that is still open and whose results could lead to very different directions, as in the Indonesian archipelago (general elections in February 2024).
The conference will provide an opportunity for experts from six countries to work together to decipher the issues and consequences of these elections (including the future ones). Moreover, based on a regional perspective, it will try to draw comparisons, parallels and contrasts, and to identify broad regional trends in the functioning of electoral systems and the political institutions on which they are based.
