Using insights from political economy and commodity studies, the essays in\u003ci\u003e Taking Southeast\u003c\/i\u003e...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat unites these case studies is their view that commodification processes under the 'new' global order are increasingly complex and their critical stance toward the kinds of sociopolitical transformations that are wrought by a neoliberal market economy. The intractability of 'neoliberalist tendencies' is explained by, inter alia, the neoliberal market economy's ability to localize and contain fallouts; its effectiveness in limiting transnational resistance to its spread; and the particular historical, political contingencies in specific places that sustain such tendencies. Its resilience is also partly explained by its constant morphing into more (outwardly) benign forms. This edited volume is thus an important and much appreciated addition that deepens our understanding of pertinent social, economic, and political processes in Southeast Asia. It is especially significant and timely in illuminating how neoliberalizing processes make new commodities and remake old ones.\u003c\/p\u003e * Economic Geography *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Commoditization in Southeast Asia\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eby Joseph Nevins and Nancy Lee Peluso\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I.
