DOMESTIC POLITICAL STRUCTURES AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION
This study is concerned with how the domestic political structures of the ASEAN states might affect regional economic co-operation. An attempt is made to compare the different political capacities of the ASEAN states to carry out policies opposed by particular vested interests and to examine possible implications for regional economic co-operation.
A comparative study of this sort inevitably lacks proper balance because it is in the nature of things that the author cannot have equal knowledge and experience of the states that he is discussing. In this case, the author is resident in Malaysia and had earlier spent several years in Indonesia, but his direct experience of the other three states is more limited. During the course of this study he was able to spend a month in Indonesia, three weeks in the Philippines and a week in Thailand, while several brief visits were made to Singapore. Much of the discussion, therefore, relies heavily on secondary sources and the Far Eastern Economic Review.
