The Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s has brought to the fore debates over the contested meanings of globalisation in the Asia-Pacific. In this collection of essays, leading interdisciplinary scholars explore various dimensions of globalisation and their relationship to development processes in the Asia-Pacific region. Globalisation and the Asia-Pacific provides diverse accounts of how globalisation is being experienced, understood, managed and resisted at various scales in relation to economic, social, cultural and political change in the region. This collection will provide invaluable analyses for those involved in political science, human geography, sociology, international political economy, development studies, anthropology, Asian studies and economics Peter Dicken University of Manchester, UK.
