Riassunto

South East Asia examines the national, regional and global contexts of development in South East Asia. It takes as its central theme the extent to which the varied roles, and wildly differing successes, of the regions states in promoting national development are a reflection of the degree to which each state has involved itself in regional structures, internationalization of production and gloablization. Key issues addressed include: · the components of national economic success between 1970 and 1996 · the nature and long-term impact of the 1997 crisis · the development of extended metropolitan regions and regional urban networks · the dark side of the regions development: marginalization, exclusion, civil unrest and damage to the environment · the regions prospects for the future in the aftermath of the 1997 crises, as it faces a declining competitive advantage in labor-intensive manufacturing and a corresponding decline in foreign investment, the rise of China as a major economic threat, the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the war on terror.
