This comprehensive dictionary provides descriptive and analytical coverage of the turbulent political history and striking changes which have occurred both regionally and in key countries since the end of World War II. Substantially rewritten to take into account the dramatic political events and developments since 1995, the 3rd edition of this dictionary should provide non-specialists and specialist alike with an essential resource on this constantly changing and volatile region. Including new entries, updated country profiles on Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia and a revised reading list, Michael Leifer has brought this dictionary fully up to date. Changes in government, the rise of new leaders and the knock on effect on economy and society are covered including: the death of key figures such as Pol Pot and the rise of a new generation of leaders, dramatic changes of government in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines and elections in Malaysia.
