Rajaratnam School of International Studies\, Nanyang Technological University – Singapore\nChristopher Ankersen\, Clinical Associate Professor\, NYU Center for Global Affairs\nModerated by: Amy Freedman\, Department Chair and Professor of Political Science and International Studies at LIU Post \nThis panel discussion will look at the broad question of whether changes in society are happening as a result of political manipulation from the top; or because of substantive changes within culture\, values and beliefs. \nDr. Arifianto’s talk\, titled “From Identity Politics to New Sectarianization? Political Islam and the 2019 Indonesian Election”\, will look at the 2019 Indonesian elections and ask if the polarization and divisiveness is a new and lasting feature of Indonesian society\, or if it is a function of specific electoral dynamics unique to these candidates and this moment in time. \nProfessor Ankersen’s talk\, titled “Culture in Action: The Case of Contemporary Thai Politics”\, will examine the cultural images being used to construct oppressive strictures in contemporary Thai politics and explore whether these structures are manifestations of long-standing cultural norms or if they are being manipulated from elites for regime survival. \nThursday\, November 7\, 2019\n2:30 PM-4:00 PM\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\nNo registration required.\nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King\, ak4364@columbia.edu \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.\nEvent Contact Information:\nAthina Fontenot\n212-854-6916\naf3018@columbia.edu\n
