This book presents a systematic review of twenty-five years of development. It will prove an invaluable guide to the physical, economic, social and political environments of contemporary Asia.

Review:

"This is a welcome addition to the geographical literature on Asia. It should be essential reading for any student studying this interesting and dynamic continent, as well as for those interested in development issues. It is indeed a fitting tribute to the achievements of the School of Oriental and African Studies since 1965."
