This volume, first published in 1995, looks at the development of
Chinese business and management practices across Asia from the late
nineteenth century. Experts examine how familism and informal
networks have contributed to Chinese entrepreneurial success. They
demonstrate how effective these factors have been in overcoming
restrictive state policies: through alliances with ethnic and
international traders and connections between financial networks in
Hong Kong, South East Asia, China and Australia. An institutional
model of analysis is developed to determine the efficacy of Chinese
business practices and structures. The relationship between culture
and environment is examined as well as how modern institutions are
embedded not only in culture but also in history and economics.
This book addresses the complexity of Islam in Thailand, by
focusing on Islamic charities and institutions affiliated to the
mosque. By extrapolating through Islam and the waqf (Islamic
charity) in different regions of Thailand the diversity in races
and institutions, it demonstrates the regional contrasts within
Thai Islam. The book also underlines the importance of the internal
histories of these separate spaces, and the processes by which
institutions and ideologies become entrenched. It goes on to look
at the socio economic transformation that is taking place within
the context of trading networks through Islamic institutions and
civil networks linked to mosques, madrasahs and regional power
brokers. Brown casts this study of private Islamic welfare as
strengthening rather than weakening relations with the secular Thai
state. The current regime's effectiveness in coopting these Muslim
elites, including Lutfi and Wisoot, into state bureaucracies
assists in widening their popular base in the south, in the
north-east, and in Bangkok. Such appointments were efficacious in
reinforcing the elite's Islamic identity within a modern, secular,
literate, and cosmopolitan Thai culture. In challenging existing
studies of Thai Muslims as furtive protest minorities, this book
diverts our attention to how Islamic philanthropy provides the
logic and dynamism behind the creation of autonomous spaces for
these independent groups, affording unusual insights into their
economic, political and social histories.
This book looks at the operation of indigenous charities at a
regional, localised and global level. Chapters focus on the
adaptation, accountability and operation of charities across a wide
range of jurisdictions from China to Indonesia, Thailand, Iran,
South Africa, Sri Lanka, Lebanon and Turkey. It examines the
ownership, participation and accountability of charities in a
regional, localised and international context, and draws on the
experiences and operation of charities. By presenting a
cross-disciplinary exploration of the operation of charities, the
book offers an interesting insight into the functioning and
identification of the influencing factors impacting the operation
of charities.

This book traces the growth of capitalism in South East Asia
between 1870 and 1941, a crucial element in understanding
contemporary economic and political developments in the region. It
focuses on three questions. Why was indigenous capitalism so weak
in colonial South East Asia? What were the institutional weaknesses
in an otherwise dominant Chinese capitalist class, and why did it
fail to transform itself into a modern industrial elite? What was
the impact of western colonialism and Japanese economic penetration
on South East Asia's prospects for achieving sustainable economic
growth?
