What challenges and opportunities does the rise of China and India pose for Southeast Asia and how should policy-makers respond? Are bilateral free trade arrangements and bilateral economic partnerships a boon or bane for competitiveness? In identifying approaches and strategies to coping with these challenges and leveraging on the opportunities available, this book also links the quest for competitiveness with the necessity of social protection. The link comes in the form of the people who work for firms as human resources, and as users and innovators of technology. The book acknowledges and discusses the problems of inadequate technological and innovative capacity and the problems of managing labour productivity in Southeast Asia. However, the book also cautions against focusing on people solely as productive labour, whether in production or the knowledge sector. By highlighting the adverse social, economic and political consequences of ignoring social protection issues and challenging the myth that addressing social protection undermines competitiveness, the book emphasizes the social responsibilities incumbent on governments and firms in this age of growing economic insecurities. 606 $aCompetition, International$xGovernment policy$zSoutheast Asia 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xSocial policy 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xForeign economic relations 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xCommercial policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCompetition, International$xGovernment policy 676 $a338.60480959 702 $aDjiwandono$b J.
