The series of Edited Works is a group of collective achievements compiled by young scholars of IIAS. The series mainly consists of two major categories: Tsinghua Area Studies Forum collection and field research collection. The collection of articles of the Tsinghua Area Studies Forum is a selected collection of papers presented at the Forum. The papers cover major issues in the research of Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, Eurasia, sub Saharan Africa and West Asia and North Africa. The research questions are both historical and realistic, and have high academic value and readability. The field collection presents the thoughts and experiences during field research done by faculty and doctoral students at IIAS, depicting a touching picture of field life from the perspective of area studies researchers.
