Reviews
“This book makes an important contribution to leading debates within political economy by explaining how evolving interests under late capitalism are intertwined with the emergence of novel patterns of governance in Southeast Asia. Faris Al-Fadhat’s book demonstrateshow well-positioned and increasingly-internationalised fractions of capital had a distinct interest in delinking from their national confines and required a certain institutional architecture to be in place, at multiple levels, for this to happen. I am aware of no contemporary study of Southeast Asia or – more specifically – of Indonesia that has come close to what Al-Fadhat has achieved with this book.” (Associate Professor Toby Carroll, City University of Hong Kong)
“Proposing a new theoretical framework for understanding regional economic governance, this book eschews the problem-solving orientation of liberal and realist perspectives in favour of an approach that emphasizes the social foundations of state behaviour. This framework differs from much other work on the political economy of Southeast Asia—in particular work that has a national focus—by emphasizing the internationalization of capital, the emergence of internationalized fractions of capital, and their attendant effects on the region’s governance. Faris Al-Fadhat provides an original and innovative analysis that makes an important contribution to our understanding of the region’s political economy and the Indonesian state.” (Professor Andrew Rosser, The University of Melbourne, Australia)
