This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between education and power in Southeast Asia, offering a profound analysis of how education has been instrumentalized by state, non-state, and private actors across this diverse region. It explores the ways in which countries in Southeast Asia respond to both endogenous and exogenous influences in shaping their education systems, highlighting the interplay between education and power that characterizes this region.

The book is structured into three parts: centralization and decentralization, privatization and marketization, and equity and justice. Within these sections, chapters observe and study the diverse political, social, cultural, religious, and economic diversities present in Southeast Asia. The political systems in the region range from near-consolidated democracies in Indonesia to illiberal democracies in Singapore and Thailand to communist regimes in Laos and absolute monarchies in Brunei.

By bringing together scholars from and focused on Southeast Asia, this book fills a significant gap in the literature on education in the region. It provides a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and educators interested in understanding the complex dynamics of education and power in Southeast Asia and their implications for social, economic, and political development.
