Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change Activism in Southeast Asia

This section of the website provides supplementary tables for a research project on Indigenous peoples and climate change activism in Southeast Asia associated with my article:

Kim D. Reimann. Forthcoming. Indigenous Peoples Activism on Climate Change in Southeast Asia: The Role of Regional Scalar Bridging Organizations. The Pacific Review. https://doi.org/10.1080/09512748.2022.2096681

The article examines organizational factors behind the rise of global activism among Indigenous peoples on the issue of climate change in Southeast Asia. It presents the concept of regional scalar bridging organizations, which brings together three areas of social movement theory: (1) resource mobilization, (2) political opportunity structure and (3) diffusion of ideas/movements. Using this organizational framework, I analyze how two Indigenous peoples organizations in Southeast Asia – the Asian Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) and Tebtebba – have served as regional organizational “bridges” connecting Indigenous activists to resources, opportunities and ideas across scales (local-national-regional-global), thereby supporting the growth of climate change activism in the region.

The supplementary tables for the article provide examples of the three types of bridging: mobilization of global funding, participation in global climate meetings, organization of regional meetings, and the promotion of new global ideas through training manuals for activists. The tables should be viewed together with the article.

Below are links to the tables. You can also access each table in the drop-down menu for this webpage (in the top bar menu of the website).
