Brunei, although a relatively small state, is disproportionately important on account of its rich resource base. In addition, in recent years the country has endeavoured to play a greater role in regional affairs, especially through ASEAN, holding the chair of the organisation in 2013, and also beyond the region, fostering diplomatic, political, economic and educational ties with many nations. This book presents much new research and new thinking on a wide range of issues concerning Brunei largely drawn from Bruneian academics. Subjects covered include Bruneis rich history the sultanate formerly had much more extensive territories and was a key player in regional affairs; the countrys economy, politics, society and ethnicities; and resource issues and international relations.

"This book, in my opinion, successfully introduces Brunei in a positive tone by addressing major research issues, such as Brunei's embrace of Islamic values and the impact of such values on Bruneian society as well as various socioeconomic problems in Bruneian society today. In doing so, the book offers a balanced view of the country." Zaidul Anwar,Thammasat Institute of Area Studies (TIARA), Thammasat University, H-Asia, November, 2017
