Reaching for the Dream: Challenges of Sustainable Development in Vietnam

How does the opening of the economy […]

Read moreMoney and Power in Provincial Thailand
E-book
Ruth McVey (ed) 2000 Most studies of Southeast Asian economic change have focused on growth in a few big cities with studies of the countryside tending to concern themselves with the social and environmental impact of metropolitan growth.

Read moreAustralia in Southeast Asia: Regionalisation and Democracy
E-book
Erik Paul 1998 Australia’s place in the global economy is more than ever linked to Southeast Asia.

Topics range from macro perspectives of Indonesia’s Economi Pancasila and Thailand’s Buddhist Economics, through Malaysia’s Islamic financial institutions, to regional […]
