Territorial governance mechanisms discussed range from decentralisation to special regional autonomy, federalism, and local government, including village autonomy. A silent revolution has occurred in which our view of these states as highly centralised 'developmental states' is in need of serious modification. Southeast Asia, the book argues, presents a high degree of originality in the framing of territorial governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Harding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509961887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509961887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Andrew Harding","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747782775039,"sku":"9781509961887","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd059b33-d29c-46ad-aaec-fd1095d3877c.jpg?v=1743584721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/territorial-governance-in-southeast-asia-andrew-harding-9781509961887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
