Capitalism seems to have exploded onto the Southeast Asian scene (generating intense excitement on Wall Street and elsewhere), yet traditional Western views of Southeast Asia as a society fueled by agrarian interests has not significantly changed. The essays contained in this collection explore the origins and roles of Southeast Asian business groups, especially as they developed during the 1970s and 1980s. Essays include "Marcos, His Cronies, and the Philippines’ Failure to Develop" by Gary Hawes and "The Chinese Business Elite of Malaysia" by Heng Pek Koon. This far-reaching study of b

A study of regional history based on culture and intra-regional relationships, this collection of essays marks a difference in approach and focus on the part of the author himself, who explores questions of historiography (his lengthy postscripts give extensive commentary on the 1982 edition). Arguing for the need for interdisciplinary studies in Southeast Asian Studies, as well as for the necessity of history to establish a basis for such study, Wolters focuses upon classical Southeast Asia (whereas almost all other historical studies focus on modern or contemporary Southeast Asia). He explor

AT a watershed moment in the scholarly approach to the history of this important region, New Terrains in Southeast Asian History captures the richness and diversity of historical discourse among Southeast Asian scholars. Through the perspectives of scholars who live and work within the region, the book offers readers a rare opportunity to enter into the world of Southeast Asian historiography. Individual chapters subject the dominance of national narratives to critical reflection and deconstruction, while others highlight the need to go beyond essentially political narratives to seek out deepe

A compilation of four essays that present a different approach to the study of politics in Southeast Asia. Most studies focus on politics at the national level, yet these essays deal with regional politics as well as with the practical rather than theoretical aspects of democracy. They examine the electoral process, conflicts between the center and local governments, conflicts between individual freedom and state power, and the corruption, violence, and criminal mindset of local politicians. Essayists include Patricio N. Abinales (’Muslim’ Political Brokers and the Philippines Nati
