The workshop was co-organized by Dr Erik Martinez Kuhonta of McGill University and Prof Allen Hicken from the University of Michigan, and aimed to assess the state of parties in Asia through the concept of party institutionalization. The workshop represents the first systematic and cross-national application of the burgeoning literature on political party instutionalization to Southeast Asian cases.
This workshop was sponsored and supported by the Institute for the Study of International Development, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies (Singapore), the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan, and the Department of Political Science at McGill University. A book drawing on the workshop papers is scheduled for publication in 2010.
