Introduction

Amidst international changes in the last decade of the past century, two significant events caught analysts' attention: the collapse of the socialist system and the end of the Cold War, and the 1997 summer crisis affecting Southeast Asian economies. These Asian 'tigers' had aligned with Western interests, achieving rapid economic growth. When Western powers perceived a threat from this emerging economic force, led by the United States, it resulted in a severe economic disruption to halt their growth. This book explores the economic implications of the new international system and its impact on Southeast Asia's development experience.
