Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Most work on political activities of Canada's Southeast Asian diaspora focuses mainly on civil society activism geared towards Southeast Asia. This work has enriched understanding of NGOs and social movements. By contrast, however, little attention has been paid to the Asian diasporic struggles for inclusion and reforms in Canada and their roles in transforming the political landscape in their countries of origin. This commentary places the latter in its focus by examining the problematics of “diaspora and civil society” from a historical perspective and as a context for understanding the relations between Canada and the Southeast Asian diaspora in both Canada and Southeast Asia. It suggests that while Southeast Asian diasporic communities – with support of Canadian public institutions and NGOs – have been strongly engaged in “long-distance nationalism” and had success at contributing to the transformation of politics in Southeast Asia, they have been relatively weak in transforming Canadian national politics.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
