(Towards a reinterpretation of the incorporation of Southeast Asia into the world economy).

Abstract

Concentrates on evaluating Catley's interpretation of the incorporation of Southeast Asia into the world capitalist economy. It takes the view that recent work on theories of stages of capital accumulation causes us to rethink the structures of determination which underpin Catley's research. Suggests that a new approach would pay attention to refining historical determinations through a more rigorous conception of historical specificity, and would take greater cognizance of the role of class structure and human agency. -from English summary Show more
