It examines how and why some countries have adjusted to the consequences of economic crisis better than others. It also finds that globalisation, and all that comes with it, has created both crises and opportunities for these countries, as they have undergone considerable economic and political change." "The book is suitable for students, academics and researchers interested in Southeast Asian politics, and those studying comparative politics and international political economy" ER -
