Summary Annotation Charts the development of Southeast Asia, examining the former command economies of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar alongside the Asian market economies. Investigates the different ways in which the poor are identified and viewed in these countries, and examines changes in the urban and rural worlds, focusing on the burgeoning rural-urban interactions that turn farmers into factory workers and transform agricultural areas into extensions of the urban-industrial sector. Describes indigenous notions of development based on Buddhism, Islam, and the Asian Way in assessment of ideas of post-developmentalism and the "miracle" thesis. Includes bandw photos.
