The United States, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia
Mon, July 26th, 2010
Washington, D.C.
Southeast Asia remains economically, culturally, and politically important. Its states are in varying stages of political and economic development. U.S. attention to the region has blown hot and cold, reflecting Cold War fears and financial crises, as well as market and investment opportunities. In recent years, Washington's attention has been elsewhere.
To further the study of Southeast Asia in world affairs, the Bakrie Center Foundation has made a generous pledge to support the establishment of a Chair for a Senior Associate in Southeast Asian Studies at Carnegie's Washington office. Carnegie welcomed Mr. Anindya Novyan Bakrie for an inaugural ceremony and reception celebrating this new position.
