Abstract
This introductory discusses the theme of this book, which is about equitable development in Southeast Asia. The book proposes to answer the general theoretical question of variation in patterns of inequality through a comparative historical analysis in which political institutions play a central role in shaping outcomes of development. It provides a structured comparison of Malaysia and Thailand, two relatively similar countries, and compares them to the case of the Philippines and Vietnam. The central thesis of this study is that institutional power and capacity, along with pragmatic ideology, are crucial to the pursuit of equitable development.
