Southeast Asia is one of the most diverse regions in the world -
hosting a wide range of languages, ethnicities, religions,
economies, ecosystems and political systems. Amidst this diversity,
however, has been a common desire to develop. This provides a
uniting theme across landscapes of difference. This Handbook traces
the uneven experiences that have accompanied development in
Southeast Asia. The region is often considered to be a development
success story; however, it is increasingly recognized that growth
underpinning this development has been accompanied by patterns of
inequality, violence, environmental degradation and cultural loss.
In 30 chapters, written by established and emerging experts of the
region, the Handbook examines development encounters through four
thematic sections: * Approaching Southeast Asian development, *
Institutions and economies of development, * People and development
and * Environment and development. The authors draw from national
or sub-national case studies to consider regional scale processes
of development - tracing the uneven distribution of costs, risks
and benefits. Core themes include the ongoing neoliberalization of
development, issues of social and environmental justice and
questions of agency and empowerment. This important reference work
provides rich insights into the diverse impacts of current patterns
of development and in doing so raises questions and challenges for
realizing more equitable alternatives. It will be of value to
students and scholars of Asian Studies, Development Studies, Human
Geography, Political Ecology and Asian Politics.
