Comparative politics has witnessed periodic debates between proponents of contextually sensitive area studies research and others who view such work as unscientific, noncumulative, or of limited relevance for advancing broader social science knowledge. In Southeast Asia in Political Science: Theory, Region, and Qualitative Analysis, edited by Erik Martinez Kuhonta, Dan Slater, and Tuong Vu, a group of bright, young Southeast Asianists argue that contextually sensitive research in Southeast Asia using qualitative research methods has made fundamental and lasting contributions to comparative politics. They challenge other Southeast Asianists to assert proudly the contributions that their work has made and urge the rest of the comparative politics discipline to take these contributions seriously. This symposium includes four short critical reviews of Southeast Asia in Political Science by political scientists representing diverse scholarly traditions. The reviews address both the methodological and the theoretical orientations of the book and are followed by a response from the editors.

Abstract Although attention to populism is ever-increasing, the concept remains contested. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of populism research and identifies tendencies to a conflation of host ideologies and populism in political science through a two-step analysis. First, we conduct a quantitative review of 884 abstracts from 2004 to 2018 using text-as-data methods. We show that scholars sit at “separate tables,” divided by geographical foci, methods, and host ideologies. Next, our qualitative analysis of 50 articles finds a common conflation of populism with other ideologies, resulting in the analytical neglect of the former. We, therefore, urge researchers to properly distinguish populism from “what it travels with” and engage more strongly with the dynamic interlinkages between thin and thick ideologies.

Maslikhats occupy a special place as a local self-government body. Currently, an urgent issue is to activate the work of maslikhats and increase their status. The main reason for the research was to find an answer to the question, what is the composition of the regional, city and district maslikhats, elected in 2016, whether it covered all layers of the local population. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the Deputy composition of local representative bodies, including maslikhats of the Karaganda region. To achieve this goal, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the composition of the regional, some city and district maslikhats was conducted. As a result of the study, we observe that the participation of all groups of the local population in the work of local maslikhats is uneven in terms of quantitative and qualitative composition. These conclusions were made when analyzing the composition of maslikhats at various levels of the Karaganda region. The composition of other maslikhats may differ. In the future, the results of this work can be used for developing programs for the development of local self-government, preparing for lectures in the disciplines of political science, public administration, political management, etc.
