Contemporary Southeast Asia: Regional Dynamics, National Differences

Southeast Asia is one of the world's most diverse and complex regions, and for decades inspired hope about the possibility of successful economic growth and political reform in the developing world. Yet the economic crisis of the late 1990s, coupled with its position on the frontline of the 'war on terror', forced a major rethink about its future. This major new text examines the contemporary forces and dynamics that are shaping the region at both national and international levels.
