With partnership with Routledge, the organization was able to establish its flagship book series entitled “International Relations in Southeast Asia.” It is edited by scholars in the region and advised by prominent IR intellectuals worldwide. PHISO is currently working on its flagship journal, the Global South Journal of International Studies, to be partnered with an international reputable publisher.
