คำสำคัญ:

Globalization has had a profound impact on cultural identity in Southeast Asia, creating both challenges and opportunities for the region. This paper explores the tension between tradition and modernity as Southeast Asian societies navigate the pressures of global integration. The study highlights the effects of globalization on cultural preservation, with a focus on the commodification of traditions through tourism, the influence of global media on cultural practices, and the role of economic factors such as trade and labor migration in shaping hybrid identities. Case studies from Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines demonstrate the complex dynamics of balancing cultural heritage with global influences. The paper also emphasizes the importance of sustainable cultural policies, education that integrates local heritage with global awareness, and community engagement in preserving Southeast Asia’s rich cultural diversity. In conclusion, the paper argues that Southeast Asia can thrive in a globalized world by embracing both tradition and modernity, ensuring that its cultural identity remains resilient and vibrant in the face of ongoing global changes.
