This study illustrates the connections between values and development in Southeast Asia and links development discourses within the region to wider theoretical debates about social transformation and the role of values in social change. In the way, some important changes in the nature of development thinking are applied to Southeast Asia and in turn Southeast Asia is situated afresh in relation to intellectual trends that are influential but have often originated outside the region. - Back cover.
