Professor Lim's lifelong scholarship and his exemplary energy are reflected throughout the Third Edition of his textbook on economic development in Southeast Asia. As the region grapples with the current global economic crisis, his policy insights and focus on fundamental factors of governance and economic growth are particularly relevant. This is arguably the most comprehensive textbook on economic development of Southeast Asia.rnThe third edition of 'Southeast Asia: The Long Road Ahead' is a welcome addition to the literature on the economic development of Southeast Asia, and a must-buy for anybody seeking a deeper understanding of this fascinating and important region. This edition has been thoroughly revised to take account of the region's progress since the deep crisis of 1997-98 and other major developments. Nobody can match Lim Chong Yah for his breadth and depth of under-standing of Southeast Asian development issues.
