South and Southeast Asia : responding to changing geo-political and security challenges / ISEAS-ORF Dialogue ; editors, K.V. Kesavan, Daljit Singh.-- Singapore : Institute of Southeast Asian Studies ; New Delhi : KW Publishers, 2010. xiii, 166 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. ISBN 9789814279949 (Singapore) ; 9789380502250 (India).

About the Publication:

This book marks the success of the initiative taken by two extremely renowned research institutes of India and Southeast Asia. The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) and Observer Research Foundation (ORF) assembled in Singapore to discuss the crucial issues emerging in South and Southeast Asia. The first Dialogue was held in New Delhi in 2006 and it focused on the Political and Security Dynamics of South and Southeast Asia. This book is the culmination of papers presented in the second Dialogue held in Singapore in 2009, which concentrated on Changing Geo-Political and Security Challenges in South and Southeast Asia. With a world engulfed in the aftermaths of financial meltdown and the uncertainty pertaining to the future trajectory of Asian geo politics and Asian regionalism, the dialogue efficiently selected themes to suit the changing power dynamics in South and Southeast Asia.

Conversations with Lee Kuan Y

Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew / Tom Plate.-- Singapore : Marshall Cavendish Editions, c2010. 211 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ISBN 9789812616760. LCCN 2010353222.

About the Publication:

There are two types of courage among journalists. Some might risk their lives crossing paths with an IED on an arid back road in Afghanistan. Many fewer risk their reputation by going against the herd of conventional opinion.

Tom Plate, America's only syndicated columnist who focuses on Asia and a former editorial director of the Los Angeles Times, has taken the second risk in his Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew, just published by Marshal Cavendish. And it has been a risk well worth taking.
