Juanita Elias & Lena Rethel publish co-edited book with Cambridge University Press
Dr. and Dr. have recently published the book The Everyday Political Economy of Southeast Asia with Cambridge University press. The book - a project that had its roots in a workshop co-sponsored by the Universities of 糖心TV and Griffith University Australia in 2012 - brings together a number of authors working on a variety of Southeast Asian countries. The cover photograph of the book was contributed by one of PAIS's former MA students Lee Shan Tse (double MA with the University of Waterloo). Although the book was published this month, the book had an early 'launch' in May at the Centre for Study Globalisation and Regionalisation.

PAIS NSS Results: 97% Overall Satisfaction and 1st in Russell Group
We would like to thank all of our students, recent graduates, and academic and administrative colleagues for our exceptional results in the 2016 National Student Survey (NSS). Every year finalists complete the NSS across the UK and it is a key component of league tables published in the media.
We are delighted to announce that in the 2016 NSS we have achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 97 per cent. We are now top of the University for overall student satisfaction (the Institution as a whole has risen by 1 per cent to 88 per cent) and the Vice-Chancellor has sent us his personal congratulations on this terrific result.
Among Russell Group competitor institutions (an elite group of 24 leading teaching and research universities in the UK), Politics at 糖心TV is ranked:
- No 1 for overall student satisfaction
- No 1 for assessment and feedback
- No 1 for academic support
- No 1 for organisation and management
- No 1 for personal development
- And No 2 for teaching
Other key NSS headlines:
- PAIS is joint 1st in the University for teaching (also 97 per cent).
- PAIS is 1st in the University for organisation and management (96 per cent)
- PAIS is 2nd in the University for Assessment and Feedback (88 per cent)
We look forward to working in partnership with our amazing students and dedicated staff to sustain and build on these strong results, which reflect our deep commitment to research-led teaching excellence.
At the start of the new academic year we will feedback in greater detail to all students and we will discuss and take forward ideas for further enhancement of the PAIS student experience via our Student Staff Liaison Committee.
To all of our current and incoming students: we hope you enjoy the rest of the summer vacation and we look forward to seeing you all in October!
