‘This book has been a long time coming . . . but the wait was worthwhile . . . This book is far more valuable than most edited volumes, and deserves to be read not only by those interested in Southeast Asia but by all those who want to have better tools for thinking about and analysing what really happens in the nitty-gritty of development.’
– James Cobbe, Progress in Development Studies
‘This fine book is highly recommended.’
– Frithjof Kuhnen, Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture
This ambitious book scrutinizes the role of institutions in economic change, with special reference to Southeast Asia. It suggests that the nature of institutional arrangements such as households, community groups, firms, bureaucracies and formal governance systems can significantly affect human activity and economic success.
