Southeast Asian Affairs, of which there are now twenty-four in the series, is an annual providing comprehensive regional on the political, economic and social trends and developments in Southeast Asia. First published in 1974, Southeast Asian Affairs represented then, as it still does now, a unique collection of analyses and writings on contemporary Southeast Asia by contributors primarily from the region and reflecting the viewpoint of the region. Design to be easily readable yet in-depth, informative yet analytical, issue-focused yet providing a background, the annual has come to be a useful tool for all serious students, academics, diplomats, senior executives, journalists and publicits who seek to understand the dynamics of Southeast Asian developments. Southeast Asian Affairs 1997, like the previous volumes, is divided into two parts. The first part consists of articles that provide the regional and ASEAN overviews. The second focuses on internal developments in each of the ten Southeast Asian countries. There is a state-of-the-nation analysis as well as articles devoted to a salient issue or significant theme for selected countries.
