Donald K. Emmerson heads the Southeast Asia Forum in the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University, where he is also a senior fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and affiliated with the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. He has written and lectured widely on security and democracy in Southeast Asia with particular reference to Indonesia, ASEAN, and U.S. policy. Surin Pitsuwan is the secretary-general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
In this delightful volume, a diverse, fresh, and talented group of
authors shed new light on Southeast Asia and speak engagingly to
wider scholarly questions. Emmerson's introduction sets the tone
for an unusually creative edited collection.

In Hard Choices, Donald Emmerson has brought together a remarkable
group of leading young scholars to write on Southeast Asian
regionalism from political-security, economic, and sociological
perspectives. His introductory chapter defines the dimensions of
regionalism on which the other contributors elaborate in a series
of fine essays examining ASEAN’s past, present, and alternative
futures. Hard Choices is a landmark study that will be consulted
for years to come by scholars and practitioners. Highly
recommended.
