In the context of political economy one notable development

Abstract Richard F. Doner, in reference to Southeast Asia, asserts the need to broaden the discussion of economic growth to include political economy, which he defines as "the ways politics influences aspects of economic policymaking," and, in turn, how economic activity influences the political process. He points out that dependency theory has the value of showing how external events and forces can affect the economy of small states participating in a regional or world economy, while institutional theory can explain the role of the state in creating limits to the functioning of market forces. He adds a plea, based on his own research in Thailand, for scholars using the institutional approach not to exclude the important activities of nongovernmental bodies such as trade associations or merchant groups from their analysis.

Abstract This article offers an explanation for the rapid economic development of the four high-growth economies of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand) over the past 30 years. It initially provides a brief review of the major determinants of international differences in economic performance, drawing on both the economic growth and the "East Asian miracle" literature, and a confirmation that these determining factors have been operative to some extent in the four countries. The major section of the article addresses the political economy question of why, over the past 30 years, these countries have generally adopted the "right" development policies more than is the case almost anywhere else outside East Asia. Journal Information The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies launched the ASEAN Economic Bulletin (AEB) in July 1984.
