Development and security in Southeast Asia
Dewitt, David B. (ed.)
Development and security in Southeast Asia V.3 - Aldershot Ashgate 2003 - 3 V. (viii, 248 p.)
Volume III: Globalization
In Southeast Asia we have stark evidence of the tension between economic change and human well-being. This volume examines a number of key sectors within the societies and economies of Indonesia and the Philippines, with some reference to other parts of the region, in order to analyze the relationship between the dynamics of development as pursued through economic investment and social change and the impact such activities has on the local environment. The chapters challenge the conventional wisdom about the beneficent results of economically induced change, suggesting that too often the mismanagement of development jeopardises the security of individuals, of families, of entire communities and possibly the state by harming the very environment which is required to sustain both people and the economic opportunities necessary to sustain them.
