Abstract

As in many other oil and gas dependent countries, Brunei Darussalam - a country with a small population but the second highest income per capita in Southeast Asia - has been diversifying its economy in three sectors: from oil and gas to other sectors of export/economic growth; from the dominance of public sector employment to a more balanced public and private sectors employment; and from heavy dependence on foreign labours to development of local talents. This book examines the current socio-economic development in the journey toward a diversified social economy, as targeted in Brunei Vision 2035. By examining the unique context of Brunei, this book fills in the gap on studies focusing on socio-economic diversification. It highlights the importance of the environment, digital technology and human capital in the diversification process. The book culminates with analyses on business, economy, employment and welfare in Brunei toward 2035, with a new face: a digitalized, sustainable and self-reliant society with a highly developed human capital and a flourishing private sector.

Abstract

Skills are the key to shaping a better future, enabling countries and people to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Megatrends such as globalisation, technological progress, demographic change, migration, and climate change, and most recently COVID-19, are reshaping work and society, generating a growing demand for higher levels and new sets of skills. The OECD Skills Strategy offers a strategic and comprehensive approach to assessing the skills challenges and opportunities of countries and regions for the purposes of helping them build more effective skills systems. The foundation of this approach is the OECD Skills Strategy Framework, which allows for an examination of what countries and regions can do better to: 1) develop relevant skills over the life course; 2) use skills effectively in work and in society; and 3) strengthen the governance of the skills system. This report, OECD Skills Strategy Southeast Asia: Skills for a Post-COVID Recovery and Growth, applies the OECD Skills Strategy framework to assess the performance of countries in Southeast Asia, identifies opportunities for improvement and provides recommendations based on in-depth desk analysis and consultations with stakeholder representatives.

Abstract

There has been an avalanche of publications on Southeast Asia in recent years, but no one volume provides an accurate and up-to-date account of political institutions and practices in the region. This book fills that gap. Each country chapter provides a broad overview of the historical, social and economic setting. It then analyses in detail the political "institutions" of that country -- the constitution, head of state, executive (cabinet and both military and civilian bureaucracies), the legislature, elections, the judiciary, political parties, ideology, civil society and human rights. Finally, it examines major traditional concerns of political scientists -- who rules, who benefits, and the extent of legitimacy -- before addressing the more modern preoccupation with governance.

Abstract

"De Indonesische archipel heeft meer dan 450 jaar strijd geleverd tegen buitenlandse handelscompagnieën en mogendheden. Bijna altijd was er wel ergens oorlog, vaak op meer plaatsen tegelijk. Dit boek geeft een gedetailleerd overzicht van de honderden militaire acties en expedities. Portugezen, Spanjaarden, Engelsen, Fransen, Japanners, en met name ook de Nederlanders, voerden hun koloniale oorlogen in de archipel vooral vanwege economisch gewin, volgens het devies van Jan Pieterszoon Coen: "Geen handel zonder oorlog". Hun legers vormden de ruggengraat van het koloniaal systeem, dat ook door tijdgenoten in Europa al bekritiseerd is. Door zijn brede aanpak en uitgebreide registers is het boek tevens een naslagwerk over de geschiedenis van Indonesië. Het laat zien hoe behalve vrijheidsdrang ook de islam een belangrijke rol speelde in het verzet tegen vreemde overheersers."
