This monograph is the first book-length study of foreign direct investment in Southeast Asia during both the late colonial period and in the contemporary period. It examines the leading Southeast Asian countries receiving foreign investment this century. The arrival of today's Asian investors, from Japan and the four Asian NICs, is described after a brief discussion of the transitionary period of warfare, decolonization and assertion of newly independent states. Special attention is given to the impact of foreign investment on the economic development of the host country.

The spectacular economic development in eastern Asia at the end of last century brought international watchers to despair twice: first the growth, later the crisis. They could not explain both phenomena. This book tries to fill the gap. The authors use the term "international capital flow" as the key. They see the quick growth and the sudden crisis as sides of the same coin. With this they bridge the literature on the "Asian growth" on the one hand with the literature on the "Asian-crisis" literature on the other. J. Thomas Lindblad is lecturer in economic history and the history of SouthEast Asia at the University of Leiden.
