“…It analyzes civil society from a wider perspective by including additional groups, such as immigrants, foreign workers, and tourists, which are not formally organized and lack a sense of joint identity or goal. However, these groups influence policy decisions based on their identification by others as a group with shared characteristics and similar interests (Quayle, 2013, p. 110). For instance, migrant workers in the Philippines, despite not being institutionally organized, formed a powerful lobby that influenced official policy based on their common perception as national heroes who suffered alienation to provide financial support to their families at home.…”

The Lower Mekong Region has faced unprecedented environmental challenges in the last five years: severe drought and deforestation have had widespread implications for the livelihood of the local communities. Scholars have noted an increasing level of regional civil society engagement with governments regarding environmental issues. However, this trend may be misleading, because it varies depending on the matter in question. Using the citizen participation ladder model and related theoretical discourse, this article compares the scope of public participation in regional decision-making in water management and forestry. By analyzing policy documents and semi-structured interviews, it concludes that unlike public involvement in water management, which is limited to the lower rungs of the participation ladder, there is more meaningful public engagement in policy-making on forestryrelated issues. This type of analysis enables the identification and potentially redressal of lacunae in public participation in the Lower Mekong Region.

“…This paper does precisely this by centring its analysis on the complex and contested process of negotiating regional order and social roles in Southeast Asia during and after formal decolonization. It builds on existing ES work that has analysed how the institutional structures of decolonized SEA emerged and were shaped by the agency of indigenous actors in their interactions with external great powers and global international society (Quayle 2013; Spandler 2019). It takes a different route than these socio-institutional accounts, however, positioning its analysis of social roles within an ES conceptualization of international order, embedded within a broader conception of an uneven capitalist world-system and subject to the politics of sub-state and transnational social forces.…”

This paper contributes to recent revisions to the English School (ES) which have sought to redress its Eurocentrism. It argues that, despite providing necessary accounts of non-Western international societies and the agency of non-European polities in the expansion of global international society, there remains a gap in capturing the agency of postcolonial states in contributing to order negotiation and management in contemporary international order. It proposes a social role negotiation framework to address the gap, which it situates within a holistic conceptual framework that supplements an ES understanding of international order between states with a world-system perspective on how states are embedded within global capitalism, and a neo-Gramscian focus on social forces as the key agents contesting and shaping states' foreign policy orientation. It highlights two major types of postcolonial state agency within international order: contesting and limiting great powers' legitimate exercise of power; and establishing responsibilities towards building and managing order vis-a-vis great powers. The paper illustrates the utility of the social roles framework with the example of ASEAN in Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific order.
