</html><description>By Lambert Strether of Corrente.   ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), says WikiPedia, would rank as the eighth largest economy in the world if it were a single entity. It includes ten countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (once Burma), the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Last week, we traveled down the Mekong from Myanmar, through Cambodia and Laos, to Vietnam. This week we'll look at countries where the common thread is not a river, but significant (even official) Muslim presence: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. One difference between last week's ASEAN countries and this week's: No insurgencies last week. This week, lots of them. One similarity: Genocide, with the genocidaires still strutting about, last week in Cambodia, this week in Indonesia. Next week I'll do the outliers: The peninsular Korea, the city state of Singapore, and the petro-statelet of Brunei.</description><thumbnail_url>http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/550px-Association_of_Southeast_Asian_Nations_orthographic_projection.svg_-150x150.png</thumbnail_url></oembed>
