About SEAP Publications

Mission Statement

Southeast Asia Program Publications operates under the auspices of the Southeast Asia Program. Its mission is to make available to an interested international clientele including academics, the business community, governmental agencies, and NGO's a wide variety of scholarly and language texts at the lowest possible cost.

History of SEAP Publications

Southeast Asia Program Publications at Cornell University publishes and distributes academic books and a semi-annual journal on Indonesia, seeking to make scholarship on Southeast Asia widely available to interested readers.

Books are divided into four main series. The Studies on Southeast Asia Series (SOSEA) is made up of substantial scholarly books, essay collections, and monographs, usually in the fields of history, anthropology, or political studies.

The Southeast Asia Program Series (SEAPS) was conceptualized as a successor to the earlier Southeast Asia Program Data Papers, which began publication in 1951. These books offer current research by young scholars.

Cornell Modern Indonesia Project

The Cornell Modern Indonesia Project was initiated in 1956 with translations of significant documents and literature concerned with modern Indonesia. This series includes many translations of primary source materials, along with original studies of the nation's contemporary political events and the evolution of its government through the twentieth century.

Language Books

Cornell offers instructional language textbooks for students of Indonesian, Cambodian, Pilipino, Thai, and Vietnamese.

The Journal Indonesia

A semi-annual journal, begun in April 1966, dealing with Indonesia's politics, economics, language studies, literature, and the arts. The journal's archives are now available on the internet at: http://e-publishing.library.cornell.edu/Indonesia
