Financial Investment

In recent years, many South East Asian nations have shown strong economic growth coupled with success in attracting considerable direct foreign investment. In order to sustain the current and projected growth levels, many countries in South East Asia will need to focus on major investments for infrastructure development, especially in their power generation and distribution sectors. As highlighted by the current financial crises being experienced in several South East Asian nations, the future growth of this region will require much stronger support from the international financial institutions, which in turn will lead this region toward a greatly increased level of privatization. The establishment of contestable energy markets is a particularly good example of the type of developments required in these nations. In order to create a healthy climate for the massive financial investment needed for a truly liberalized energy market, a number of difficult political and social issues common to many of these rapidly developing economies must be resolved.

The Impact

In line with the encyclopaedic scope of development sociology, this book offers perspectives on key issues relating to societal processes. These encompass the shaping of everyday life, intergenerational relations in diverse societies, fine-grained comparative analyses of trajectories of violence and the impact of urbanisation in conceptions of freedom. Furthermore, the book discusses issues relating to social structure with particular emphasis on the debate on ‘African middle classes’. Besides presenting case studies from Africa, South East Asia and Europe, it also addresses fundamental issues from sociology. With contributions by Erdmute Alber, Artur Bogner, Antje Daniel, Mamadou Diawara, Gerhard Hauck, Reinhart Kößler, Rüdiger Korff, Roman Loimeier, Henning Melber, Matthias Neef, Matthew Sabbi, Rachel Spronk, Florian Stoll, Alexander Stroh-Steckelberg
