This conference aims to convene these knowledge by bringing together practitioners from across ASEAN to share their experiences of cross sectoral collaboration and of using participative art as open and reciprocal processes for community engagement. This pooling of knowledge can foster the development of regional frameworks for community engagement that will be beneficial to arts and community knowledge creation, and to cross sector collaboration between the arts and other sectors such as health, education and advocacy in the region.

This conference aims to convene these knowledge by bringing together practitioners from across ASEAN to share their experiences of cross sectoral collaboration and of using participative art as open and reciprocal processes for community engagement. This pooling of knowledge can foster the development of regional frameworks for community engagement that will be beneficial to arts and community knowledge creation, and to cross sector collaboration between the arts and other sectors such as health, education and advocacy in the region.

The referendum is only advisory, hence a decision to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union to leave the EU has to be formally taken by the British Parliament.

As a guide, we welcome manuscripts in the following areas but we will happy to consider others:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>ASEAN and Regionalism</li>\r\n 	<li>Conflicts in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century</li>\r\n 	<li>Civil Society and Transnational Activism</li>\r\n 	<li>Democratization &amp; Authoritarianism</li>\r\n 	<li>Ethnic Relations</li>\r\n 	<li>Gender Studies</li>\r\n 	<li>Humanitarianism</li>\r\n 	<li>Human Rights</li>\r\n 	<li>Migration</li>\r\n 	<li>New Media</li>\r\n 	<li>Regional Arts &amp; Culture</li>\r\n 	<li>Sustainable Development</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe are also interested to publish manuscripts in the following formats:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>1. Monographs</b>\r\n\r\nWe welcome a wide array of monographs. From academic research monographs to semi-academic and general non-fiction pieces by journalists and civil society activists. We are looking to publish pieces of original research which contribute something important to the scholarship on the region and which also talk to the work of civil society groups, NGOs and activists. We accept monographs of no longer than 40-100,000 words.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Edited Volumes</b>\r\n\r\nWe are interested to receive various proposals for edited volumes with a regional focus. In particular we are interested to publish edited volumes of no more than 12 chapters which bring together a diverse range of voices from around the region and neighbouring regions on topics of contemporary importance to Southeast Asia. We are happy to receive initial proposals for such volumes and work with editors in order to develop their proposal.\r\n\r\n<b>3. Conference Proceedings</b>\r\n\r\nWe are also interested to publish conference proceedings of important regional conferences which highlight cutting edge research and new and emerging perspectives on the region.\r\n\r\n<b>4.
