东南亚是世界上一个日益相互依存、全球化和城市化的地区。11个国家通常被理解为构成现代东南亚，现在通过贸易，投资和移民流动，除了传统的国家主导的区域一体化进程-最引人注目的是东南亚国家联盟（东盟）的出现-以及越来越紧密，重叠的双边经济和安全关系，它们之间的联系更加紧密。1自泰国发行泰铢以来的近20年里，该地区比以往任何时候都更加紧密地融合在一起。泰铢发行是1997- 1998年亚洲金融危机爆发的标志。东盟经济共同体的启动标志着--至少在历史意义上--国家主导的经济发展、市场改革和区域一体化阶段的高潮。事实上，我们今天看到的是一个虽然没有联合艾德，但肯定是相互联系紧密的地区。在印度和中国这两个亚洲巨人的阴影下，东南亚地区在关于即将到来的“亚洲世纪”的辩论和讨论中有些靠边站。大量的分析工作已经投入到理解国家和市场力量在推动该地区的经济转型的各自影响。尽管如此，东南亚提供了一个重要的场所来考虑经济转型的过程是如何改变--以及如何被--普通人的生活和日常生活所改变的：他们跨越国界的移民决定;他们对不断增长的财富以及不平等、贫困和相关形式的暴力和毁灭的经历;他们作为活动家、公民和工人的活动;以及经济和社会关系、责任和活动正在转变的方式。东南亚现在是，而且将继续是世界上一个多样化的地区。然而，正是这种文化、政治、宗教、社会和经济的多样性--
Southeast Asia is an increasingly interdependent, globalized and urbanized region of the world. The eleven countries that are generally understood as comprising modern-day Southeast Asia are now ever more closely linked together via l ows of trade, investment and migration , in addition to traditional state-led processes of regional integration – most notably the emergence of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – as well as ever closer, and overlapping, bilateral economic and security ties. 1 In the nearly two decades since Thailand l oated the baht, an event commonly held to mark the outbreak of the Asian i nancial crisis of 1997–8 , the region has become more closely integrated than ever before. The launch of the ASEAN Economic Community marks – at least rhetorically – the high point of a period of state-led economic development , market reform and regional integration. Indeed today, we see a region that while not unii ed is certainly deeply interconnected. In the shadow of Asia’s two giants, India and China , the Southeast Asian region has been somewhat sidelined within debates about and discussions of the looming ‘Asian Century’. Much analytical effort has been put into understanding the respective inl uences of state and market forces in driving the region’s economic transformation. Nonetheless, Southeast Asia provides an important site for considering how processes of economic transformation are refashioning – and refashioned by – the lives and daily routines of ordinary people: their decisions to migrate across borders; their experiences of growing afl uence as well as of inequality, poverty and associated forms of violence and destitution; their activities as activists, citizens and workers; and the ways in which economic and social relations, responsibilities and activities are being transformed. Southeast Asia is, and will remain, a heterogeneous region of the world. And yet, this very diversity of culture, politics, religion, society and economics – intersecting
