Effective Jan. 15, 2010, Southeast Asia Publications, the publishing unit of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, will cease operation.
The center is selling out its existing inventory of Southeast Asia monographs and Vietnamese, Burmese, and Thai language texts. All orders received by January 15 will be filled for any book in stock, including the center’s two newest monographs, The Middle Mekong River Basin: Studies in Tai History and Culture, edited by Constance M. Wilson, and Contemporary Lao Studies: Research on Development, Language and Culture, and Traditional Medicine, edited by Carol J. Compton, John F. Hartmann, and Vinya Sysamouth.
The Center is also ceasing publication of its biannual journal Crossroads: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Southeast Asian Studies with the forthcoming publication of Vol. 19, No. 2.
The Journal of Burma Studies will continue to be published by the Center for Burma Studies at NIU.

Joseph Errington (Yale University), Trudy Jacobsen (NIU), Michael Laffan (Princeton University), Judy Ledgerwood (NIU), Shamsul Amri Baharuddin (National University of Malaysia) and W.A.L.
