Book Description
The Dictionary of Contemporary Politics of South-East Asia redresses the deficiencies in the way this hemisphere has been presented. Michael Leifer gives the facts and background information essential to a fuller understanding of political events, current and recent, in Brunei, Burma, Indonesia, Kampuchea, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.Customer Reviews:
Why no update?.......2000-05-30
All of which make it an even greater disappointment that Leifer and his publisher have not seen fit to publish a revised edition to encompass developments post-July 1997
