Paragraph 1 (150-200 words): main argument (and how it is supported – evidence etc) 1. Isolate the main argument: Start with a description (100 words or so) of the main argument made by the author in this article. Hint: Using the sentence ‘This article is about ….’ allows you to be vague. Instead force yourself to be precise: This article argues that…. because… Or Whereas some scholars say X, this article suggest that Y, because…. Or The main point of this article is to demonstrate that….. 2. Evidence underpinning argument Somewhere in your review, in a few words ((~ 75-100 words) you’ll want to show your reader what you think of the evidence provided for the article’s argument. To support their point, the authors use….to show that…. Or The evidence supporting this argument is X, as well as Y. Or The evidence clearly supports point X, but is less convincing on point Y. Or whereas one could point to deficiencies in X, nevertheless there is clear support for point Y (n.b. evaluation does not mean you have to be negative. Critical means: being able to say which parts of something is good and which are not so good) Paragraph 2 (150-200 words) : Relating it to the context. Show the reader what the contribution of the article/chapter is to the broader scholarship to the study of violence/crime/protest in Asia. Answer the following questions: 1. How does this article allow us to understand violence/crime/protest in Asia? 2. Why it is useful? How is it different? How is it the same? 3. What does it tell us we didn’t know before? 4. Does that make us think differently / get new understanding about violence/crime/protest/underside? Examples of some sentence structure in connecting the article to asia’s underside: This article expands our knowledge of Crime violence and protest in Asia by pointing out X’s connection to Y. In particular, ….. Many people might think X. But as this article shows, in fact, Y…. Scholarship on country X tends to focus on aspects A, B, and C, but as this article shows, the topic Y is important to understand…. A prevalent image of X is that it functions in (a particular way). This article undermines that image, by showing that…. Whereas (reading in a previous week) showed that …., in contrast this article demonstrated that….As a result, our understanding of the definition of crime has grown to show that….. Also consider the background of the author: 1. How do the authors themselves reflect on their contribution to scholarship? Do they make a point about their own contribution to scholarship and is it about these topics or about something else? · Can connect to Authorship and disciplinary approach: · consider the background of author and their main discipline. For example, are they a psychologist? A sociologist? A political scientist? If someone is an anthropologist we would not be surprised to see a long description of their experience in the field. If someone is a historian, we would not be surprised to see them exploring the past. If someone is in politics, then …. Etc etc. Note: keep it professional – what discipline do they work in, what other research have they published, are they specialists in this particular field etc. (we don’t care about personal details, gender, marital or employment status or anything like that.) A specialist in gender studies who has published mainly on Asia, X understandably focusses on …. The author is a linguist with extensive experience in the documentation of language x. Although they are not a literary scholar, it is precisely the attention to the structure of the language that allows them to argue that… As a political scientist, the author pays particular attention to….. Ideas that can be discussed in the review: • How is crime/violence/protest described in this article? What role does it play? Is it central, or peripheral? • Does the article focus on what prompts it, or its manifestation, or what its outcomes are? Why? • Does the article focus on agents, or victims? Are these interchangeable or not? Why? • Does the article connect violence/crime/protest to particular institutions/cultural forms/events? • How do the authors themselves reflect on their contribution to scholarship? Do they make a point about their own contribution to scholarship and is it about these topics or about something else? · Can connect to Authorship and disciplinary approach: · consider the background of author and their main discipline.

For example does it match with the WHO’s definition of violence? • Is there any moralising going on in the article? Why? Do you think that is appropriate? (It can be – don’t reject out of hand, just think about what it means) Tips on review: Avoid being descriptive! Use: 1. The author shows… 2. The author does….

S. Nesadurai Abstract If labour migration increases the potential for interstate conflicts, does the economic interdependence thus created make such conflicts easier to address, given the economic gains to both sides from such labour movements? This arti- cle addresses this question by using the concepts of economic security and inter- dependence to compare the Malaysia-Philippines and Malaysia-Indonesia conflicts over labour migration. Although the limited cases make generalizations difficult, the analysis suggests that the economic interdependence constraint on conflict es- calation may not always work well as it may be offset by national security concerns in the labour receiving states about the illegal migrant workers and by the shifting economic underpinnings of economic security. The theoretically pacifying effect of interdependence can also be weakened by preventing the ‘aggrieved country’ from articulating clearer demands from the other side for fear of jeopardizing the eco- nomic gains from the migrant outflows. Comparing the two conflicts suggests that clearly articulated demands matched by effective state capacity in translating those demands

ARTICLE REVIEW
The article by Nesadurai (2013) argues that most of the conflicts between boundary c
ountries occur due to the inflow of the migrant labours. Here the author has selected the conflicts between Malaysia- Philippines and Malaysia- Indonesia where migrant labours come to Malaysia for employment or economic development, Philippines and Indonesia being economically poor. The author argues that this migration creates a conflict, which can be limited by the economic interdependence.
The economic interdependence may be a constraining cause of the conflicts. To support her point, the author mentioned the national security concern, which is highly responsible for bringing economic alliance. The evidence shows that the number of unauthorised migrations is more than the authorised ones. This creates a concern on the national security of economy outflow, which gives rise to conflicts resulting in violence or even wars. The evidence of...
