Problems of Filipino Settlers
The problem of population density and overcrowding in rural areas exists in nearly all of the countries of Southeast Asia. Before World War II there were efforts by the United States and Holland to relieve population pressures in Luzon and Java by relocating some of the people in less crowded islands. The experiments were not very successful and the problem persisted into the independence period. The Republic of the Philippines in particular, has faced this problem since the early 1950s. Over the past twenty years, there has been a steady movement of families and villages from overcrowded Luzon to the less populated islands, particularly Mindanao. Philippine and foreign scholars alike have studied this movement in order to understand its impact on the land and people in both the sending and receiving areas and to assess how well it is achieving the goal of alleviating the problem of overcrowding.
Political Violence in the Muslim Provinces of Southern Thailand
The paper attempts to examine the causes and manifestations of, as well as the governmental response to, the political unrest in the Muslim provinces of Southern Thailand. The Thai government is argued to have been slow in perceiving the seriousness of the problem and that the success of governmental response would depend on if the government enforces the 'right mix' of force with other measures - for instance if the economic development programes will be well planned, adequately funded and properly administered, and whether government agencies do indeed accommodate the special Muslim requirements.
The Five Power Defence Arrangements and AMDA
The postwar years in Southeast Asia have witnessed the spawning of a variety of defence agreements and frameworks, with perhaps the loosest of them being the Five Power Defence Arrangements involving Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. This paper attempts to unravel the nature of this arrangement and trace its evolution from the Anglo-Malaysian Defence Agreement (AMDA).
ASEAN and the Law of the Sea
The aim is to focus on a point of possible cooperation, somewhat in isolation from the many obstacles that clearly present themselves, in order to draw attention to the fact that despite obvious conflicts of interests, the oceans of Southeast Asia merit close attention as a possible focus for fresh initiatives in regional cooperation.

Notable American Women with Czechoslovak Roots
Even though there exist only a few general studies on the subject of Czechoslovak American women, this is not, at all, a reflection of the paucity of work done by these women, as this publication demonstrates. This monograph is a compendium of notable American women with Czechoslovak roots, who distinguished themselves in a particular field or area, from the time they first immigrated to America to date. Included are, not only individuals born on the territory of former Czechoslovakia, but also their descendants. This project has been approached strictly geographically, irrespective of the language or ethnicity. Because of the lack of bibliographical information, most of the monograph comprises biobibliographical information, in which area a plethora of information exists. As the reader will discover, these women have been involved, practically, in every field of human endeavor, in numbers that surprise. On the whole, they have been noted for their independent spirit and nonconforming role.
