Description:

Focuses on Indonesias' global importance which was the key generator of the 'Asian flu' that laid low economies across East Asia in the late 1990s, and it has become a centre for Islamist politics and social movements (including terrorism). This book looks at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the currents of globalization.

Synopsis:

For hundreds and hundreds of years, Indonesia has been a crucial part of the global trading system, connected to both Asian and European empires. Its far-flung geography and highly differentiated population groups have made it uniquely susceptible to foreign influences that drew it into the capitalist world system that began to emerge in the sixteenth-seventh centuries. Its importance today can hardly be exaggerated - it was the primary generator of the 'Asian flu' that laid low economies across East Asia in the late 1990s, and it has now become a centre for Islamist politics and social movements (as well as terrorism). Books in this series look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly globalized world.
