    Thai-Yunnan Project Bulletin
    (Canberra, ACT: Department of Anthropology, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University) Australian National University. Dept. of Anthropology
    The Thai-Yunnan Project is concerned with the study of the peoples of the border regions betwen the Peoples Republic of China and the mainland states of Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Burma). The project encompasses the study of the languages, cultures and societies of the constituent peoples as well as of their inter-relations within and across national boundaries. Practicalities make it necessary to focus our immediate interests on the more southern regions of Yunnan and northern Thailand. Academic knowledge of Yunnan, particularly as represented in published Western literature is superficial; yet in theoretical and strategic terms it is an area of great interest.
