There have been radical changes in the economic policies of the various states involved, in particular, China, Vietnam, and Laos. Each chapter provides a close-up survey of a particular area and problem, but cumulatively they provide an invaluable general picture of social and cultural change in the border regions where China meets Southeast Asia UR - https://doi.org/10.1355/9789812307125 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9789812307125 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9789812307125/original ER -
