Reviews
"This book fills a significant gap in Western writing" (Asian-Pacific Economic Literature).
... [this book] is a rich collection of fifteen critical essays written by scholars from a wide range of disciplines, and it provides readers with a fresh perspective from which to observe the whole range of thriving economic activities in the region (The China Review).
About the publication
This book provides readers with the first survey of social conditions since the opening of the borders between China and mainland Southeast Asia in the early 1990s. There have been radical changes in the economic policies of the various states involved, in particular, China, Vietnam, and Laos. Each chapter provides a close-up survey of a particular area and problem, but cumulatively they provide an invaluable general picture of social and cultural change in the border regions where China meets Southeast Asia.
