  • Chapter
Southeast Asia: A Ten Nation Region

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 34))

Abstract

During the last three decades, Southeast Asia has become one of the most economically dynamic realms in the world as a result of the success of a number of countries and the increased role of ASEAN in the world economy (Martin, 1988: 6).
