  * This study of Southeast Asian media and politics explores issues of
    global relevance pertaining to journalism's relationship with
    political power. It argues that the development of free,
    independent, and plural media has been complicated by trends towards
    commercialisation, digital platforms, and identity-based politics.
    These forces interact with state power in complex ways, opening up
    political space and pluralising discourse, but without necessarily
    producing structural change. The Element has sections on the
    democratic transitions of Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia;
    authoritarian resilience in Singapore; media ownership patterns in
    non-communist Southeast Asia; intolerance in Indonesia and Myanmar;
    and digital disruptions in Vietnam and Malaysia.
