Abstract

Abstract This JASSR Vol. 7, No. 2 (2025) frames the intertwined questions of authority, legitimacy, and vulnerability in contemporary Asia. Drawing on Weber and Suchman, it argues that legitimacy is produced, contested, and repaired in everyday arenas such as digital religious communication, sacred memory, marriage and gender relations, regional policy, welfare distribution, and apology diplomacy. The issue brings together studies on Pakistani imams’ perceptions of online extremism, Islamic iconization in Madura, divorced women’s experiences in Bangladesh, Indonesia’s support for ASEAN gender mainstreaming, Bangladesh’s Open Market Sale programme, and apology diplomacy in Philippine tourism. Together, the articles show how Asian social science can illuminate the lived processes through which institutions, communities, and individuals negotiate trust, care, recognition, and public authority.

Abstract

Abstract This editorial introduction presents JASSR Vol. 7, No. 1 (2025) as a reflection on how people across contemporary Asia navigate change under pressure. Rather than treating acceleration, mobility, conflict, and digitalization as abstract regional trends, it foregrounds the everyday practices through which students, migrants, minority communities, language learners, and women educators make choices within unequal social conditions. The issue brings together studies on AI use among international students, informal railway settlements in the Philippines, the Naxalite conflict in India, Indonesia–Malaysia historical relations, Korean language learning among Indonesian students, and Afghan women teachers’ professional resilience. Taken together, these articles show that social transformation is shaped not only by states, markets, and institutions, but also by ordinary acts of learning, settlement, memory, solidarity, and aspiration.

Abstract

JASSR Vol. 6, No. 2 (2024) examines how people across Asia encounter power in everyday life and seek dignity within changing institutions. Moving from the Manipuri and Bishnupriya communities in Bangladesh to Benda Kerep village in Cirebon, from Indonesian Islamic higher education to narcotics law reform, from resettled rural workers in Vietnam to becak drivers’ views of Sharia enforcement in Aceh, the issue asks how identities are defended, traditions are adapted, gendered barriers are challenged, laws are reimagined, livelihoods are rebuilt, and religious regulations are judged from below. Together, the articles show that governance is not experienced only through formal policy, but lived through recognition, exclusion, adaptation, negotiation, and the everyday search for fairness.

Abstract

This  JASSR Vol. 6, No. 1 (2024) presents the themes of labour, care, and just transitions in contemporary Asia. It approaches the issue as an inquiry into how digital, climate, energy, poverty-reduction, and care transitions reshape everyday lives, redistribute risks, and raise questions of fairness. The articles examine short-video entrepreneurship among Chinese smallholder farmers, climate education in Indonesia, Laos’s hydropower geopolitics, community resource mobilization among Dao households in Vietnam, and childcare facilities for working mothers in Dhaka. Together, they show that transition is not only a matter of technology, policy, or growth, but also a social process experienced through labour, welfare, ecological awareness, gender equality, community capacity, and the uneven burdens of development.

Abstract

Abstract This editors’ introduction presents JASSR Vol. 5, No. 2 (2023) as an inquiry into legitimacy, recognition, and everyday judgment in Asian societies. The issue brings together studies on populist party politics in India and Japan, Indonesia’s Chinese minority, public perceptions of Rodrigo Duterte’s leadership in the Philippines, customer satisfaction models in e-commerce, women’s education under the Taliban, and Qur’anic family life in Afghanistan. Together, the articles show how power becomes credible, contested, or morally judged in concrete social settings. The issue highlights the value of Asian social science that connects institutions, markets, families, public debates, and lived experience.

Abstract

This issue of the Journal of Asian Social Science Research approachescontemporary Asia through the intertwined questions of belonging andrecognition. The five articles gathered here examine Indonesian atheists’search for civic moral ground, educational exclusion among the Hazarapeople in Afghanistan, misogynic culture in South Korea, IndonesianMuslim diaspora in Western countries, and more than five decades ofIndia–Bangladesh relations. Although they differ in subject matter, nationalsetting, and method, they share a common concern with how individuals,communities, and states negotiate dignity, legitimacy, and voice withinunequal social worlds.
