Summary
The year 2003 turned out to be a year of several shocks for Southeast Asia. First was SARS, followed by an increase in terrorist threats. Both led to a depressed economic situation. ASEAN responded by moving towards an integrated economy by 2020. The landmark Bali Concord II was signed in October 2003.
The articles in this volume of Southeast Asian Affairs reflect these and other developments. I commend the editors for the speedy publication of this volume.
I hope, as in the past, Southeast Asian Affairs will continue to be a journal of interest to scholars, policy-makers, the business community, and the media.
