“This volume is a set of technically well-executed research that may be hamstrung by the critical biases their unique approach has brought bare. This could be used as a staging point for further critical examination of the region, especially for students of political economy and of Southeast Asia.” (Gerardo V. Eusebio, Philippine Political Science Journal, Vol. 44 (2), August, 2023)“The volume as a whole provides the best and most current introduction to the region … . the thematic approach makes the volume flexible and easily adaptable for classroom use. … The Murdoch School lives on, and prospers, in the hands of a largely new generation of scholars.” (Paul Cammack, Journal of Contemporary Asia, October 21, 2020)
