Synopsis

Southeast Asia is going through tremendous changes. The market-oriented economies of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand have been showing robust growth, particularly before the Asian financial crisis of 1997/98. The transitional economies of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam are also exhibiting signs of economic awakening and revival after years of internal political and social turmoil. Despite these encouraging signs, the region still has a long road ahead to achieve developed nation status. Southeast Asia: The Long Road Ahead is a serious and concise study on various important economic aspects of Southeast Asia. Existing economic studies on the region are mainly topical in nature. Most of the publications only attempt to offer a partial treatment of the issues and fail to examine these issues in a holistic manner. The objective of this book is to provide a more complete cross-country discussion on the economic issues and problems facing Southeast Asia. Besides critically examining the multiple facets of changes and problems that have been and will be encountered by Southeast Asia, the book also presents a lucid exposition on the prospects of the region. However, it does not stop there. It moves on to provide pointers and suggestions on how Southeast Asian countries should proceed with their development options and processes. The book should be of interest to economists, graduate students on Southeast Asia and all those who want to have a better knowledge and understanding of the important Southeast Asian region. In this latest edition, data were updated and new emerging trends explored. A significant portion of the text was redrafted so as to make this edition more compact and concise than the earlier ones. New Suggested Discussion Topics are added, and contemporary issues such as the Global Financial Tsunami, Asian economic integration and Michael Spences World Bank Report are also dealt with.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The Third Edition of Lim Chong Yah's most balanced text on the economic development of Southeast Asian countries is more than welcome, because during the 6 years after the 2003 edition, many puzzling events hit the ASEAN countries. Despite the catching-up of Vietnam; Indonesia, the Philippines and Myanmar remained stagnant. Divergences in growth widened in ASEAN, The book deals with these and related financial issues in the region; the best guide to ASEAN Economy in the early 21st Century. --Professor Shinichi Ichimura Former President and Founder, East Asian Economic Association, Emeritus Professor of Economics (Kyoto University, Japan)

With a comprehensive updating of empirical evidence, the latest edition of 'South East Asia: The Long Road Ahead' provides students and policymakers with a comprehensive and authoritative understanding of the fundamental causes and challenges of economic growth and development in the South East Asia region. Written by one of the region's most distinguished economists, this book is rightly regarded as a key source for understanding how the region's economies have achieved so much and how these achievements can be sustained in the future. --Professor Colin Kirkpatrick, Professor Emeritus of Development Economics (University of Manchester, United Kingdom)

This volume of work is prolific with the comprehensiveness of the subtopics covered, reflecting Professor Lim's scholarly career. The release of the third edition is also timely as the region ponders over the lessons learnt in the 1997 crisis and transitions out of the current one. The depth of this work alone makes it an outstanding contribution to existing literature, and an essential guide to scholars and students studying the Southeast Asian region. --The Singapore Economic Review
