The ANU Southeast Asia Institute aims to maintain and promote the role of The Australian National University as the world’s premier institution in the field of Southeast Asian studies, through the conduct of research, the practice of teaching, and a broad range of outreach activities.
For 2023-24, SEAI will prioritize initiatives and activities that: Develop explicitly regional approaches to Southeast Asia, including comparative studies. Our endeavours will complement the country-focused efforts of other ANU Regional Institutes; and Emphasize the theme of security, broadly-defined. This will include geopolitics and military security, but also the nexi between economics and security, development and security, environment and security, domestic politics and regional security, and 'non- traditional' security issues such as climate change, technological challenges, etc.
SEAI is led by the Director, Professor Evelyn Goh, who is supported by a Working Committee of six other colleagues from the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, as well as an Advisory Board.

The ANU Southeast Asia Institute is proud to launch our original eight-episode interview series titled Southeast Asianists: Scholarly Profiles.
Hosted and produced by Emir Syailendra, this limited series profiled eight scholars who have spent numerous years contributing to our understanding of Southeast Asia as a region, namely: Prof Evelyn Goh, Prof Anthony Milner, Prof Khong Yuen Foong, Prof Cheng-Chwee Kuik, Dr Rizal Sukma, Prof Robert Cribb, Prof Virginia M Hooker, and Prof Anthony Reid.

The ANU Southeast Asia Institute organised the inaugural Southeast Asia Regional Geopolitical Update on Monday 1 May 2023, held in-person on ANU campus, with an additional online audience. This landmark Regional Geopolitical Update adopted the original and timely theme of 'Crossroads, Lifelines, and Guardrails'. We tackled Southeast Asia’s geographical, historical, and socio-political condition as a crossroads for trans-regional flows of people, goods, beliefs and practices. We also unpacked Southeast Asia’s current sense of standing at the crossroads of game-changing geopolitical transitions. The Update addressed four inter-linked question sets: Can Southeast Asian states continue to avoid invidious choices between the great powers? What does ‘strategic equilibrium’ look like for Southeast Asians?; How will Southeast Asian political economies ensure the security of critical supply chains and technology, and the sustainability of development imperatives?; What are the best ways of securing sea lines of communication and vital land routes given strategic uncertainties? and How can the region update and innovate mechanisms for guarding against intramural disputes as well as external tensions and armed conflicts?
