The workshops concluded the Swedish Research Council-funded project "New Perspectives on Civil Society in Cambodia and Indonesia" which brought together researchers from Lund University, Universitas Gadjah Mada, and the Cambodia Development Resource Institute. The research team presented the findings of the forthcoming book "Civil Society Elites: Field Studies from Cambodia and Indonesia" (NIAS Press 2023), co-edited by Astrid Norén-Nilsson, Amalinda Savirani and Anders Uhlin. A discussion was then held with invited civil society activists.
