The chapter discusses how the five main countries of Southeast Asia have handled the pressures of rapid economic growth and ethnic relations. Has growth and development contributed towards a greater sense of national identity or produced more inequality and more ethnic tensions? Answers vary across Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines. There are also reservations against more binding political regional agreements.
