520 The growth economies of Southeast Asia are presented by
the World Bank and others as exemplars of development -
'miracle' economies to be emulated. How did the region
attain such status? Are the 'other' countries of Southeast
Asia able to achieve such a rapid growth? This book charts
the development of Southeast Asia, examining the economies
of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Burma alongside the
established Asian market economies. Drawing on case
studies from across the region, the author assesses
poverty and ways in which the poor are identified and
viewed. Process and change in the rural and urban 'worlds'
are examined in detail, focusing on the strengthening
rural-urban interaction as 'farmers' make a living in the
urban-industrial sector and factories relocate into
agricultural areas. Giving prominence to indigenous
notions of development, based on Buddhism, Islam and the
so-called 'Asian Way', the author critically assesses the
conceptual foundations of development, ideas of post-
developmentalism, and the 'miracle' thesis. In the light
of the experience of one of the most vibrant regions in
the world, the book places emphasis on the process of
modernization within wider debates of development and
challenges the notion that development has been a mirage
for many and a tragedy for some
