Write For Us

To obtain as much perspective as possible from all ends of discussion on current affairs in Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia Analyst welcomes contributors to submit their articles to us to be published on our website. 

A huge reason behind the creation of Southeast Asia Analyst was the founders’ frustration in seeing their own articles rejected while articles written by more “established” academics and officials regardless of its contents. We understand the struggles of aspiring writers, thinkers and practitioners of international relations in Southeast Asia. For this exact reason, articles will be accepted or rejected on the basis of the quality of the article and not the credentials of the author. In other words, we judge the article not the writer. 

Please follow the guidelines on how to write and submit articles to Southeast Asia Analyst. Remuneration is not available at the moment.

  2. We look for articles with controversial and critical arguments on important issues in Southeast Asia.
