Ethnic Minorities and Regional Development in Asia
Reality and Challenges
Distributed for Amsterdam University Press
The global development experience of the past century has shown that economic growth cannot be sustained without taking into consideration the social and political development of vulnerable populations, including the struggle for minority rights. Within this context, this volume argues for the support of an interdisciplinary discussion that aims to link studies surrounding the development of minorities in Asia.
