The Center for Social Development Studies (CSDS) was established as a Research Unit within the Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University, to undertake interdisciplinary research linking across the various fields of political science within the Faculty and more broadly in the social sciences, and to provide support in education, research, and teaching. Established in 1985, the Center has been working together with our research partners in Thailand and the wider region towards equitable and just solutions on the region’s resource politics and in support of social development.

With this video, we would like to introduce you to the Center, our research and projects, and what we hope to achieve with the Center, from the perspective of our team and committe members.
