Description
This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on contributions from experts in various fields such as geography, environmental and developmental studies, to provide a comprehensive analysis of Brunei's role within Southeast Asia's future trajectory. Brunei has often been overlooked, or given only cursory coverage in regional analyses, and so this book affords significant attention to the Bruneian perspective on regional development. By integrating Brunei's unique historical, geographical and socio-economic context into the broader discussion, the book offers insights into how Brunei's aspirations and challenges contribute to shaping the region's future. By emphasizing local-regional transformation and resilience, the book provides practical insights into how Brunei and other Southeast Asian nations can navigate uncertainties—adapting to global challenges such as climate change, economic shifts, and geopolitical dynamics—and seize opportunities in the coming decades. It is relevant to social scientists across disciplines focused on Southeast Asia, and in the Muslim world's role in development.
