Cast in terms of its embeddedness in two successive constellations of economic, political and socio-cultural power (the first driven by Northeast Asia, the second by China), the chapters of this volume contain materials, ideas and arguments vital to rethinking Southeast Asias global significance. For anyone seeking cutting-edge knowledge about contemporary Southeast Asian development including both the opportunities and dangers inherent in its future prospects this is the book you need.

Jeffrey Henderson, University of Bristol

This volume contains gems on East Asian economies including China as well as for those interested in comparative analysis. Nederveen Pieterse, Rahman and Tham have provided editorial coherence to the chapters which reflect on the regions miracle, debacle, trajectories and options for the future.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram, former economics professor, UN Assistant Secretary General, 2007 Wassily Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought

This is a most enlightening book about contemporary Southeast Asia. Readers will profit immensely from the useful comparisons between ASEAN and Northeast Asia, thoughtful analyses of the role of domestic institutions on socio-economic performance, and insightful projections of future China-ASEAN relations. I am proud that scholarship on Southeast Asia has advanced so impressively.

Wing Thye Woo, University of California Davis, Fudan University, Shanghai; President of Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia, Sunway University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Changing Constellations of Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is among emerging economies that have become important drivers of the world economy. ASEAN has furthered the regions economic integration. Growth, however, remains dependent on foreign investment. Inequality has grown or remains high. Democracy, instead of consolidating, has stalled or regressed.

Changing Constellations of Southeast Asia seeks to:

shed light on the gap between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia from a variety of viewpoints, across trade and industry, services, and education and language policies;

examine institutions and elite capture to understand why middle-tier Southeast Asian countries have failed in matching the East Asian miracle;

examine Chinas increasing influence and how this growing role affects Southeast Asia as a constellation.

Contributing to critical political economy and comparative development studies in East Asia, this timely volume will appeal to undergraduate and post-graduate students interested in Southeast Asia studies, international political economy, development sociology and economics, social policy and Asian politics.

The baton of driving the world economy is passing to emerging economies. This is not just an economic change, but a social change, with migration flows changing direction towards surplus economies; a political change, as in the shift from the G7 to G20; and, over time, cultural changes. This also means that the problems of emerging societies will increasingly become world problems. This series addresses the growing importance of BRIC (Brazil Russia India China) and rising societies such as South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, the UAE and Mexico. It focuses on problems generated by emergence, such as social inequality, cultural change, media, ethnic and religious strife, ecological constraints, relations with advanced and developing societies, and new regionalism, with a particular interest in addressing debates and social reflexivity in emerging societies.
