CiNii 図書 - Southeast Asia in the 1990s : authoritarianism, democracy and capitalism

Australia's growing realization of her position within Southeast Asia means that our knowledge of the region must be up-to-date and accurate. Following on from the success of "Southeast Asia in the 1990s", Kevin Hewison, Richard Robison and Garry Rodan three of Australa's best-known academics working on the region, have brought together a group of specialists on Southeast Asian politics to produce this completely new book. "Southeast Asia in the 1990s" is a book of original studies which suggests the different political outcomes which flow from industrialization and economic development. It evaluates the various academic approaches to these questions, and then turns to a series of Southeast Asian case studies. These examine changes to, and tensions in, existing patterns of military rule, authoritarianism, and the progress of democracy as capitalism cuts a swathe through contemporary Southeast Asia. It explains the pressures for reform which are being addressed by the Communist regime in Vietnam, and discusses why it is that the rich Sultanate of Brunei has been able to minimize such pressures. It examines the booming economies of Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and grapples with the trials and tribulations of democractic reform in the face of the distinctive forms of authoritarianism in those countries. Finally, the progress of democratic reform in the Philippines since the fall of the Marcos regime is considered. This book provides invaluable, up-to-date, and theoretically-informed analysis of the very rapid political and economic changes taking place in the most dynamic region of the world. It will be especially welcomed by those who teach advanced undergraduate courses dealing with modern Southeast Asia.
