Author Description

This book examines the nature of development and diversification in the small, oil-rich state of Brunei. With an economy highly dependent on oil and gas exports, development planners have sought to implement a range of strategies for diversifying the economy in order to secure sustainable levels of growth and development. As well as providing an informed, up-to-date account of Bruneian economy and society, the book evaluates these strategies and assesses their impact on Brunei and on its place in South-East Asia.
