Produktbeschreibung

Brunei, although a relatively small state, is disproportionately important on account of its rich resource base. In addition, in recent years the country has endeavoured to play a greater role in regional affairs, especially through ASEAN, and also beyond the region, fostering diplomatic, economic and educational ties with many nations. This book presents new research on a wide range of issues concerning Brunei largely drawn from Bruneian academics. Subjects covered include Brunei's rich history; the country's economy, politics, society and ethnicities; and resource issues and international relations.

Rezensionen

"This book, in my opinion, successfully introduces Brunei in a positive tone by addressing major research issues, such as Brunei's embrace of Islamic values and the impact of such values on Bruneian society as well as various socioeconomic problems in Bruneian society today. In doing so, the book offers a balanced view of the country."
