Jacques Bertrand provides a fresh and highly original survey of politics and political change in this area of the world. Against the backdrop of rapid economic development and social transformation in several Southeast Asian countries, he explores why some of these countries have adopted democratic institutions, while others have maintained stable authoritarian systems or accepted communist regimes. Bertrand presents a historically grounded account of capitalist countries and state-socialist countries, delving into the historical experience of individual countries, while simultaneously providing a comparative framework with which to draw parallels and foster a better understanding of the political and economic dynamics both within and between the countries"--cProvided by publisher. 0aSoutheast AsiaxPolitics and governmenty20th century. 0aSoutheast AsiaxPolitics and governmenty21st century. 4aAsia del EstexPolítica y gobierno. 4aAsia del EstexPolítica y gobierno. 4a20150900
