Acknowledgements

This book emerges from over three decades of research in South-East Asia, including extended periods in the field in the Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam, and to a lesser extent in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as Sri Lanka. Much of this has been connected with an assortment of research grants that have enabled me to work with scholars from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, the UK and the USA and, most significantly, from the countries of the region itself the Lao PDR, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Many of the ideas and much of the empirical scaffold contained in this book come from these stimulating collaborations.

In the UK, I have been thankful for and invigorated by the intellectual inspiration of Kate Gough, Terry King, Emma Mawdsley, Craig Jeffrey, Mike Parnwell, Rachel Harrison, Anthony Bebbington, Dave Little, Cecilia Tacoli, Janet Townsend, Gina Porter, Geoff Wilson, Deborah Bryceson, Raymond Bryant, Ann Booth, Becky Elmhirst, Rob Potter, Katherine Brickell, David Simon and David Booth (who kindly read the final chapter, which draws on his governance work). Beyond the UK, I have been assisted and inspired by Niels Fold, Jytte Agergaard, Irene Nrlund, Magnus Jirstrm, David Henley, Randi Jerndal, Pietro Masina and Michel Bruneau in Europe; by Nancy Lee Peluso, Terry McGee, Phil Dearden, Rodolphe de Koninck, Michael Leaf (who provided trenchant comments on ) in Australia.

Turning to South-East Asia, my thanks go to a number of scholars and researchers with whom I have been fortunate to work and to have contact: Wong Tai-Chee, Chusak Wittayapak, Goh Kim Chuan, Shirley Hsiao-Li Sun, Pujo Semedi, Carl Grundy-Warr, Stan Tan, Adam Fforde, May Tan Mullins, Myo Thant, Mark Ritchie, Gavin Jones (who kindly read ), Bounthong Bouahom, Linkham Douangsavanh, Buapun Promphakping, Wathana Wongsekiarttirat, Sakunee Nattapoolwat, Suriya Veeravongs, Lalida Veeravongs, Piyawadee Rohitarachoon, Pham Van Cu, Luong Thi Thu Huong, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Dinh Thi Dieu, Doracie Zoleta-Nantes, P. Hewage, Annuska Derks and Chaminda Kumara. There are others whom, I am sure, I have mistakenly overlooked in this list and for which I apologize in advance. My thanks go equally to them.
