This major four-volume collection brings together the key
analytical contributions on the economies of Southeast Asia,
countries which together have a population of more than 500 million
people. This group of economies is of interest for a number of
reasons. Firstly, they feature great diversity - Singapore has one
of the highest per capita incomes in the world, while several of
the mainland Southeast Asian states are among the poorest. Brunei
is a tiny oil sultanate, while Indonesia is the world's fourth
largest nation. In addition, several of these economies have been
consistently among the world's most open, while others are emerging
from a long period of international commercial isolation. Thirdly,
the group includes one sizeable country, the Philippines, which for
reasons still only poorly understood has consistently
under-performed compared to its potential. Four of the economies -
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand - grew extremely quickly
in the three decades through to the recent Asian economic crisis.
Lastly, the Asian economic crisis of 1997-98 particularly affected
three of the countries - Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The
factors explaining this sudden, and largely unanticipated, event
are still only poorly understood. This comprehensive reference
collection is essential reading for all those interested in the
economic performance of these economies.
