‘Transdisciplinarity’: A Framework of Knowledge Production in North-South Partnerships?
This issue of ASEAS brings together different articles reflecting and discussing scientifically, as well as more practically, challenges faced during the implementation of a capacity-building project on transdisciplinarity. The papers are the outcome of a common endeavor that was undertaken between 2016 and 2019 by universities from Southeast Asia and Europe in the context of the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education program funded by the European Union. The project Fostering Multi-lateral Knowledge Networks of Transdisciplinary Studies to Tackle Global Challenges (KNOTS)1 and its implementation process, as well as conflicts, discussions and transformations that occurred during the various capacity-building activities on transdisciplinarity, will be discussed in the papers from different perspectives and with different foci.

期刊介绍:
The Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies (ASEAS) is an international, interdisciplinary and open access social sciences journal covering a variety of topics (culture, economics, geography, politics, society) from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Topics should be related to Southeast Asia, but are not restricted to the geographical region, when spatial and political borders of Southeast Asia are crossed or transcended, e.g., in the case of linguistics, diaspora groups or forms of socio-cultural transfer. ASEAS publishes two focus issues per year and we welcome out-of-focus submissions at any time. The journal invites both established as well as young scholars to present research results and theoretical and methodical discussions, to report about on-going research projects or field studies, to publish conference reports, to conduct interviews with experts in the field, and to review relevant books. Articles can be submitted in German or English.
