Editorial: INTRODUCTION TO JOURNAL OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN STUDIES (JATI 20)

As the impact of globalization and growing anxiety generated by global markets coupled with the increasing ineffectualness of international regimes in the face of mounting security threats of a national and transnational character, this issue deals with the impact and rapidity of change in Southeast Asian development. The current edition is divided into four sections dealing with politics and security, economic development, education and media and culture. In all these social and political dimensions the impact of rapid change has left an often problematic mark.
