China and Southeast Asia: myths, threats, and culture - Singapore: World Scientific Pub. Co., 1999 - 88p. - EIA Occasional Paper series, no 13 .

Collection of three essays each dealing with one of the subjects in the title. The first refutes the myth of the numbers of overseas Chinese and their often reported wealth; the second considers China's evolving relations with ASEAN particularly after the economic crisis of the late 1990s; the third considers culture as an integral part of international relations and in particular whether Western cultural constructs have now been translated into a global modern culture which nation states (themselves a Western concept) have adopted universally.
