Zusatztext "The 12 essays presented by Rodan and Hewison examine social, economic, and political conflict in Asia at the current moment of neoliberal capitalism. The first group of essays, premised on the notion that market systems are inherently political and conflict-ridden, analyzes the changing nature of capitalist market systems in East and Southeast Asia. Topics in this section include the “securitization of US foreign economic policy in East Asia; debate over what constitutes Asian regionalism; and the relationship between international capital, Singapore’s state companies, and security. The next section focuses on forms of conflict involving domestic and political institutions and governance mechanisms for suppressing contestation of neoliberalism. Specific issues include rural land reform in China, neoliberalism and political alliances in the Philippines, Indonesian local party politics, and the political economy of developmental aid selectivity." -- Reference & Research Book News Informationen zum Autor Garry Rodan is the Director of the Asia Research Centre and Professor of Politics and International Studies at Murdoch University, Perth, Australia.
