Subject: Euroseas web

Dear VSG,

Below I have enclosed the website for Aseasuk and Euroseas. Aseasuk is the Southeast Asia Association in UK, Euroseas is the European Southeast Asia Association - NOT British! There is also a Nordic Association for Southeat Asian Studies, and other association in some other countries like France. Each country/region has 2 representatives in the board. I am sorry to lean that so little was informed in US about the 3rd Euroseas conference in London. It is hold every 3 years, the first in Leiden the second in Aix-en-Province. This time the conference seems to be well established with 28 panels, and about 300-50 participants. The panels are organised decentralised, and most of the information has been circulated widely on the net (at least in Europe) and through the IIAS's voluminous newletter which you can get for free. However, you have to go to the panel organisors to get hold of many of the papers, I am afraid.

Members of Euroseas also receive a newsletter with information from European Institutes. I think a point of importance is raised that the websites are still not up to date!

Regards,

Irene Norlund

Subject: Further EUROSEAS papers concerning Vietnam

Dear VSG members,

this is the last email in this trilogy, this time regarding the great number of further interesting papers on Vietnam presented in other EUROSEAS panels. I have compiled a list of them, even though I am not entirely sure whether all the papers announced were actually presented. Furthermore, I have included only on those explicitly focusing on Vietnam (thus omitting those on Laos and Cambodia and those dealing with Southeast Asia in general). (The entire list of papers can be downloaded from the EUROSEAS website by clicking on the very hidden "conference" icon on its front page.)
