Jonathan Rigg

'This text should be of great value to those interested in South East Asian development in particular and development studies in general and should stimulate lively debate.' - Geographical Journal

For their teacher, the book encapsulates a series of debates which will provide almost endless material for tutorial discussions' - ASEASUK News

'This book reflects many years of careful scholarship and committed engagement with the region, and, as benefits a Southeast Asianist, a genuine and realistic appreciation of the ways in which development and modernization are appraised by the peoples of Southeast Asia.' - The Geographical Journal, 2005
