The current economic crisis in East Asia is unprecedented in world
economic history. It seemed the economic strength of the region,
until very recently, would just keep growing. Now, the
macroeconomic achievements of Asia are under threat and the
economies of North America and Europe are feeling the results. This
book brings together the thoughts of experts on the Asian economy
and provides a broad and thorough analysis of the situation. It
provides case studies from 14 countries in the region, how the
crisis developed and affected them, and the response from
governments. There are other non-country specific chapters with a
strong theoretical content which address issues such as causation,
how such a crisis should be handled, how it might be avoided in the
future, and the likely implications for on-going deregulatory and
other economic reforms. This is an account of one of the most
extraordinary economic events and provides a broad synthesis of
case studies and theoretical approaches from a variety of
researchers with an knowledge of the region.

The success or failure of democratic reform in Indonesia is a key
question for Indonesia itself and for the surrounding region.
Although Indonesia's transition to democracy holds out the promise
of good governance, this cannot be taken for granted - as the
recent military takeover in Thailand shows. This book is about the
challenge of making democracy work in Asia's third-largest nation.
