More Description"The Rise of the Corporate Economy in Southeast Asia" surveys the growth of large corporations in Southeast Asia, focusing in particular on corporate organisation, methods of finance, the business environment and corporate governance. It details the different phases of corporate and financial development, particularly liberalisation and globalisation from the mid 1980s, the 1997 crisis, and subsequent attempts at liberalisation and the reform of corporate governance. Raj Brown considers the key themes of the rise of the South East Asian corporate economy, and illustrates the theoretical issues through deployment of carefully selected country-specific case studies from across the region. An examination of critical subjects include: the variety of corporate forms found in Southeast Asia; issues of ethnicity; the concentration of ownership, particularly among families; links between the state, the military, banks and corporations; state-owned enterprises and forms of state control; and the role of foreign capital.; Providing a comprehensive analysis of the rise of the corporate economy in Southeast Asia, this study will be an important resource for students of the region and those concerned with theoretical issues of corporate governance.
