The Political Economy of Southeast Asia Politics and Uneven Development under Hyperglobalization In the book "The Political Economy of Southeast Asia Politics and Uneven Development under Hyperglobalization," Edited by Toby Carroll, Shahar Hameiri, Lee Jones presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of hyperglobalization on the political economy of Southeast Asia, highlighting the uneven development and challenges faced by the region in the face of rapid technological change and globalization. The book emphasizes the need to study and understand the process of technology evolution and its implications for the survival of humanity and the unity of nations. Hyperglobalization, a term coined by the author, refers to the accelerated pace of globalization that has led to the rapid growth of multinational corporations and the increasing dominance of neoliberal economic policies. This has resulted in the widening gap between the rich and the poor, both within and across nations, and has created new forms of inequality and social exclusion. The book argues that to address these challenges, it is essential to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unity of nations. The book is divided into four parts: Part I provides an overview of the political economy of Southeast Asia, including its history, culture, and political systems. Part II examines the impact of hyperglobalization on the region's economic development, highlighting the uneven distribution of benefits and costs. Part III discusses the challenges faced by Southeast Asian countries in terms of technology and innovation, and how they can adapt to the rapidly changing global landscape.
