Beskrivning
This is the first book to focus explicitly on how China’s rise as a major economic and political actor has affected societies in Southeast Asia. It examines how Chinese investors, workers, tourists, bureaucrats, longtime residents, and adventurers interact throughout Southeast Asia. The contributors use case studies to show the scale of Chinese influence in the region and the ways in which various countries mitigate their unequal relationship with China by negotiating asymmetry, circumventing hegemony, and embracing, resisting, or manipulating the terms dictated by Chinese capital.

Recensioner i media

"An excellent work on the impacts of Chinese immigration and investment in Southeast Asia after the 1990s. . . . A highly recommended book that teaches readers about new waves of Chinese immigration, socio-economic development and borderland livelihoods in Southeast Asia, including those that entail political and environmental contestations. . . . This is a high-quality edited volume, containing diverse topics, researched geographies, and varied findings. Those who are interested in learning about Chinese influences in Southeast Asia from a bottom-up perspective will certainly appreciate the reading."
