The CDSSEA Scholarship Program

The Consortium of Development Studies in Southeast Asia (CDSSEA) is awarding scholarships to candidates from Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand who would like to pursue a Master’s degree in development studies in Thailand.

Under the CDSSEA scholarship Program, applicants can choose to study on one of three leading development programs, namely: the Master of Arts in International Development Studies (MAIDS) at Chulalongkorn University, the Master of Arts in Sustainable Development (MASD) at Chiang Mai University or the Master of Science in Gender and Development Studies (MGDS) at the Asian Institute of Technology.

The scholarship program is administered by CDSSEA, which was established in 2012 by the three institutions and with the support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), its aim being to build leadership capacity with regard to development studies in Southeast Asia - educating those capable of critically analyzing the development conundrum and understanding the regionalization of the development process, a process which plays a key role in building and maintaining dynamism in the region. The programs encourage students to seek out development alternatives based on social equity, environmental justice and economic and ecological sustainability, while fostering linkages that help better inform policymaking with respect to development-related issues. As a result, CDSSEA is actively promoting the creation of a team of highly qualified development studies practitioners in Southeast Asia, and in the future hopes to open other programs across the region.

A full scholarship will be given to successful candidates, covering tuition fees, a monthly allowance, field research expenses (specifically for programs that require field research), and travelling expenses to and from the student’s home country. The duration of the scholarship depends upon the length of each program and will range from 14 months through to 22 months.

ARSA claims ambush on Myanmar security forces

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for an ambush on Myanmar security forces that left several wounded in northern Rakhine state, the first attack in weeks in a region gutted by violence. Rakhine was plunged into turmoil last August, when a series of ARSA raids prompted a military backlash so brutal the UN says it likely amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority. The army campaign sent some 650,000 Rohingya fleeing for Bangladesh, where refugees have given harrowing accounts of rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces and vigilantes. Myanmar's military, which tightly controls information about Rakhine, denies any abuses and insists the crackdown was a proportionate response to crush the "terrorist" threat. ARSA have launched few attacks in recent months.  But the army reported that "about ten" Rohingya terrorists ambushed a car with hand-made mines and gunfire on Friday morning

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do
