Jose L. Tongzon, Professor of Logistics, Inha University, South Korea
'The book is well written and well structured, mixing
country-specific analysis with cross-sectional analysis. It
provides an extensive examination of issues of paramount importance
for the South East Asian economies and, therefore, should interest
academia and policymakers whose interests relate to regionalism and
development in East Asia. The author has cleverly included useful
suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, and a
useful index at the end of the book. A paperback edition of over
300 pages costing £19.95 is not only value for money, but
affordable as well.'
*Anthony Bende-Nabende, Asia Pacific Business Review*
'. . . for those seeking a fairly comprehensive mainstream account
of the key issues faced by ASEAN (post-1997-98 financial crisis),
this book nicely fills the order. Recommended for upper-division
undergraduate through faculty collections.'
*S.J. Gabriel, Choice*
'This timely publication is essential reading for those wanting not
only to understand the background to the 1997/98 Asian crisis but
also to reach conclusions about the sustainability of recovery in
Southeast Asia's economies. It is packed full of relevant detail on
intra-regional trade and ASEANs wider trade and investment
opportunities. In particular it will inform the important debate on
whether regional economic blocs are building blocks or stumbling
blocks toward global free trade.'
*Roger Sandilands, University of Strathclyde, UK*
Acclaim for the first edition:
'. . . this book is a useful introduction to the complexities of
the development of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) economies within the context of the development of ASEAN
itself.'
*Ahmad D. Habir, Pacific Affairs*
