Asia has undergone strong economic growth since the Second World
War. However, it also experiences growing economic and regional
disparities brought about by this unprecedented development. This
economic growth cannot be considered sustainable without taking
into consideration the social development of minority populations,
as well as the fundamentals of minority rights. The chapters in
this book work from the premise that an environment that favours
the emergence of various conditions necessary for the development
of minority populations will contribute towards further economic
development and prosperity, as well as the social cohesion of the
entire country. Bringing together perspectives from Economics,
Development and Area Studies, Geography, Anthropology, and
Sociology, the contributors provide local narratives that shed
light on some of the different needs, situations, and methods of
problem solving. This diverse approach gives a nuanced perspective
on social, economic and political inequality, and the ways in which
people are constructing varied responses to the challenges of
modernization. Through the comparison of the characteristics and
realities of minority region development among countries in East
and Southeast Asia, this book provides a better understanding of
the development-related challenges faced by minority regions in the
current context of modernization and globalization.
