Synopsis

The mix of landscapes, history, peoples, cultures, political systems and different degrees of external influences and globalisation have resulted in many changes and challenges to contemporary development in Southeast Asia. The papers in this collection are based on original research by geographers and other scientists from different countries and they capture a wide array of issues that confront the region at the turn of the twenty first century. Their findings and discussions provide first-hand knowledge of this unique area, which have significant policy implications on the development of each of the countries these studies represent. This volume should be of international interest and relevance to geography teachers and educators and other scientists who teach current development issues of Southeast Asia at high school and tertiary levels. It will also be a useful reference material to policy makers within the region who deal with decision making on the subjects examined by the authors.
