The author examines the case for both sides and concludes that the strong state will be a fixture of South-East Asian politics for some considerable time to come. Increasingly close links between the ten states of South-East Asia are likely to reinforce perceptions of a common culture and in the end put up more effective defences against external cultural influence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Political-Change-Southeast-Asia-Trimming\/dp\/0415134846\/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&amp;qid=1625449894&amp;refinements=p_27%3AMichael+Vatikiotis&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-3&amp;text=Michael+Vatikiotis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POLITICAL CHANGE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: TRIMMING THE BANYAN TREE takes up the debate between those who resist the pressure for democracy and point to unchanging &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":126,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/211"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=211"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":413,"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/211\/revisions\/413"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mvatikiotis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
