Synopsis of Course This course provides an introduction to the study of
Contents societies from the angle of socio-cultural issues that bear
upon identities. It provides a basis of the internal
structure of the ASEAN and examines communication
and languages, the media, identity, the labour market,
education, equality of gender, etc. within the context of
regional integration and global challenges. While the

regional cooperation in the socio-cultural sector which
