South-East Asia is a region of extraordinary cultural and ecological diversity.

The effects of development policies on these societies will be considered, with special attention to indigenous minorities and rural communities. The impacts of changing cultural values and social relations through the green revolution, population pressure, urbanisation, industrialisation, deforestation and tourism will also be addressed. |
