This essential text fills a glaring gap in the social science of
South-East Asia with its comprehensive and integrated treatment of
the important sociological and political economy writings on the
region. Using case studies from across the region, King examines
wider processes of change in relation to theories of modernization,
underdevelopment and globalization and covers a wide range of
themes including class, ethnicity and gender, and locates
local-level issues and processes in the context of more general
political, economic and cultural transformations. An essential
undergraduate text and a useful postgraduate reference. One of the
main problems faced by teachers and students who have a scholarly
interest in South-East Asia is the lack of general, user-friendly
texts in the social sciences. The absence of an introduction to the
sociology of South-East Asia is especially unfortunate. It is the
aim of this volume to meet these needs. This is, then, the first
sole-authored introductory sociology text on South-East Asia that
focuses on change and development in the region, provides an
overview of the important sociological and political economy
writings, and considers the key concepts and themes in the field
since 1945. Some multi-authored works do exist but these are either
outdated or focus on specialized topics. Aimed primarily at
undergraduates up to the final year, this will also be a useful
reference work for postgraduates and researchers who lack such a
general work.
