This new and up-to-date textbook has been specially written for
university students taking courses dealing with the politics and
society of the South East Asian region, covering Brunei, Cambodia,
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand and Vietnam. Each chapter begins with a description of the
country's history, society, geography and economy. Plus key
statistics. The subsequent politics sections examine the formal
organization of government as provided for constitutionally,
followed by a description and analysis of the major political
institutions - parliament, the executive, the civilian and military
bureaucracies, the judiciary and, more widely, ideology, civil
society, political parties, elections, civil society and human
rights. Finally, each chapter looks at major political issues -
focussing on who rules, who benefits, legitimacy, and the nature of
governance generally. Student-useful features include the
comprehensive socio-economic and historical context provided by
each country study; basic statistical data; and a Further Reading
list. The originality and usefulness of this volume lies in its
exceptionally detailed information and analysis of each country's
political system, as well as its up-to-date examination of the key
domestic issues that dominate the political agenda in this fast
changing region.
