This book describes and explains Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore's attitudes and policies regarding the Vietnam War. While it is generally known that all three countries supported the US war effort in Vietnam, it reveals the motivations behind the decisions of the decision makers, the twists and turns and the nuances in the attitudes of Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore following the development of the war from the 1950s through to its end in 1975. Although the principal focus is the three supposedly non-aligned countries - Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the perspectives of Thailand and the Philippines - the two Southeast Asian countries which were formally allied with the United States - are discussed at the appropriate junctures. It makes an original contribution to the gradually growing literature on the international history of the Vietnam War and furthers our knowledge of the diplomatic history of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in the early independent years, 1945/1949, 1957 and 1965 respectively, which coincided with early years of the Cold War in Southeast Asia.

Een privÚwereldreis van een maand langs vrienden, familie, sportlocaties en andere bezienswaardigheden.Mart Smeets heeft als sportjournalist naar sportevenementen over de hele wereld gereisd. In maart 2006 besloot hij na de Olympische Winterspelen een maand lang privÚ op reis te gaan. Hij wilde naar sport kijken, erover lezen en erover nadenken. Hij wilde wandelen, bezienswaardigheden bezoeken, lekker eten en ideeÙn opdoen. En hij wilde zijn zoon in AustraliÙ zien honkballen.Dus verliet hij Turijn en reisde in ÚÚn lange zucht de wereld rond: via Amsterdam naar Kuala Lumpur, Adelaide, Sydney, Fiji-eilanden, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Banff, Calgary, Minneapolis, Boston, Middlebury, Boston, Miami, Newark, en terug naar Amsterdam.Hij ging van 7 graden onder nul tot 33 erboven in twee etmalen. Hij verbleef in goede hotels, overvolle vliegtuigen en toprestaurants, beleefde spannende wedstrijden en merkwaardige avonturen, en ontmoette bijzondere mensen. En in Adelaide was daar die ene homerun. Vader Smeets zag groot menselijk geluk op een klein honkbalveld op een warme zondagmiddag en genoot mee.In Wereldtour doet Mart Smeets verslag van zijn memorabele reis.

What is a Global City? Who authorizes the World Class City? This edited volume interrogates the "e;global cities"e; literature, which views the city as a shimmering, financial "e;global network."e; Through a historical-ethnographic exploration of inter-ethnic relations in the "e;other global"e; cities of Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, Bukhara, Lhasa, Delhi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo, the well-known contributors highlight cartographies of the Other Global City. The volume contends that thinking about the city in the longue duree and as part of a topography of interconnected regions contests both imperial and nationalist ways of reading cities that have occasioned the many and particularly violent territorial partitions in Asia and the world.

Based on fieldwork in Malaysia, this book provides a critical examination of the country's main urban region. The study first provides a theoretical reworking of geographies of modernity and details the emergence of a globally-oriented, 'high-tech' stage of national development. The Multimedia Super Corridor is framed in terms of a political vision of a 'fully developed' Malaysia before the author traces an imagined trajectory through surrounding landscapes in the late 1990s. As the first book length academic analysis of the development of Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan Area and the construction of the Multimedia Super Corridor, this work offers a situated, contextual account which will appeal to all those with research interests in Asian Urban Studies and Asian Sociology.
