Amplifying the Voices – In the midst of the upcoming shift towards political and economic integration in Southeast Asia in 2015, it gets more difficult to deny the voices of those who are currently being (will directly be) affected by its impacts. Moreover, their stories, perspectives and feelings provide a glimpse on how the fulfilment of rights, freedoms and peace in the Region is being (and will be) reconstructed, sustained and embraced by its peoples.

By integrating them in this rather intricate discourse, the focus on human rights, peace, security, development and freedom goes beyond territories, state and regional levels of power, policies and legislation. At this stage where the Silence has been broken and the Impasse has been defied, this academic exercise has gone to a whole new level.
