“…Kejadian tersebut membawa kita ke salah satu isu yang sering diperbincangkan dalam kajian Asia Tenggara, yaitu pengaruh globalisasi terhadap budaya Asia Tenggara. Dalam beberapa waktu terakhir ini, globalisasi sangat diutamakan sebagai bentuk kekuatan nasional suatu negara dibandingkan ancaman terhadap perkembangan budaya lokal, namun wacana akan ancaman globalisasi terhadap menguatnya pengaruh korporat global dibandingkan negara juga menjadi perbincangan dalam topik posisi Asia Tenggara dalam fenomena global tersebut (Ullah & Ming Yit Ho, 2020). Hal tersebut mengacu pada hegemoni kebudayaan yang merupakan salah satu dampak besar dari globalisasi.…”

“…Kemajuan teknologi memungkinkan emanasi informasi dan budaya yang lebih cepat, menciptakan sebuah masyarakat global yang sadar akan keberadaan satu dengan yang lainnya. Keseragaman ini mampu memberikan dampak yang besar terhadap budaya-budaya lokal, terutama terhadap budaya Timur yang dianggap memiliki resiko yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan budaya Barat (Ullah & Ming Yit Ho, 2020).…”

The development of technology has enabled the democratization of technology that helps minority groups to disseminate their own discourse outside the control of the dominant media. Through an analysis on a series of popular Twitter tweets made as responses towards the announcement of a Disney animated film Raya and the Last Dragon, this article explores how internet users who identify themselves as Southeast Asian respond to the representations of Southeast Asia produced by a multinational company. Using critical discourse analysis from van Dijk and representation theory, this article examines how popular tweets constructed a discourse on Southeast Asian representation by using their authority as 'Southeast Asian' to construct alternative representations in response to the representations created by popular media and how these reached other internet users. The results of the analysis show that while the representation discourse on the tweets was well received by internet users who identify themselves as 'Southeast Asian', some aspects used to construct the 'Southeast Asian' identity were disapproved of by some users who refused to associate themselves with the identity.

“…These unique ways of knowing are essential components of the world's cultural diversity and contribute to sustainable development. However, much of this knowledge is under threat, mainly due to changing socio-cultural values, globalization, and lack of legal bounds [38]. With the pace of development, vast numbers of cultural landscapes, archaeological sites, and others are lost each year.…”

“Jefoure” refers to a traditional grass-covered road with households settled on both sides in the Gurage socio-ecological production landscape in Ethiopia. We assess Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) on Jefoure roads for sustainable management. Data were collected using survey tools and orthophoto images, and they were systematically analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. The Jefoure roads are beyond transport networks and enhance the people’s quality of life. We identified 12 contributions of Jefoure roads from the reporting categories of material, nonmaterial, and regulating NCP. Over time, the contributions of the roads at different localities decreased due to socio-economic, cultural, and religious changes. Recent trends in infrastructural provisions cause the degradation of Jefoure roads and lead to a decrease in their value. Therefore, sustainable landscape planning and management are essential to preserve and enhance the positive NCP. This study indicates that roads do not solely generate negative ecological impacts, and planners need to work on designing versatile roads, particularly in landscapes where traffic flows are low. Indigenous knowledge has a significant role in bridging the past and future and needs to be integrated into landscape planning and management.

“…The region is the seventh largest economy in the world with a combined GDP of $US2.5 trillion, and is expected to be the fourth largest economy by 2030 (Aujirapongpan et al 2020). The region hosts an economic context that encourages digitisation (Avirutha 2021) and has a focus on developing communities respecting equity, freedom, and a collective spirit (Ullah and Ming Yit Ho 2021).…”

This article assesses the opportunities and challenges for different categories of FinTechs in the SAARC and ASEAN regions. We consider the global financial inclusion data released by the World Bank and map the responses to gain insights into the opportunities and challenges for FinTechs in the respective regions. We develop a new index, termed the FinTech Opportunity Index (FOI), to conceptualise the opportunities and barriers based on individual savings, borrowings, purchasing behaviour, and payment preferences. We note that FinTech services have potential opportunities for expansion in the ASEAN regions but less so in the SAARC regions. The need for different types of FinTech services varies between regions. Services such as crowdfunding, neobanks, and InsurTech have potential in the ASEAN regions, especially with the positive attitude towards entrepreneurship and asset investments. In the SAARC regions, InsurTechs linked to health care has potential along with LendTechs and neobanks. We further note that males, and the young are more likely adopters of FinTechs in both regions. The analysis suggests the need for innovative promotions and education to motivate the more sceptical, especially women and the elderly population, to adopt FinTech services.
