  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • TEN YEARS of the AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE Its Origins
    Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2015 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2015 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 PERTH HEAT JUGGERNAUT MAKES IT 4 FROM 5 ABL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2015! In 2014/15 we enjoyed the fifth season of the "second coming" of the Australian Baseball League. Once again six teams from major capital centres made up the competition, namely Adelaide Bite, Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat and Sydney Blue Sox. As usual these teams comprised many of the best local players with the addition of international imports from the USA, Japan, Taipei and Korea mainly. Having said that, some of our very best Australian professional talent either did not play or played only part of the season as a worrying trend. To continue their elected path, only the Melbourne Aces hosted Japanese professional imports for the 2015 season. The remainder of this paragraph is a repeat from last season, but my opinion has not changed and, moreover, it is stronger than ever. The Japanese players had only a modest impact before, as dictated, packing up to return home at Christmas time. 'Flintoff & Dunn' has probably said enough about the overall value of importing Japanese players into our ABL, especially given that they are unable to stay the course of the full season. Regardless of what philosophical advantage there may be for our league to have some Japanese "connection", there is sufficient evidence that the Japanese import players provide very little value to the club(s) that host them. It is more of a detraction and a distraction to replace these players mid-season.
