Contemporary Economic Studies on Borneo

Call for Contributions
We plan to come up with an edited book with the proposed title of “Contemporary Economic Studies on Borneo”. This book seeks to contribute to the literature significantly by collecting economic studies that focus on the Borneo region, a less researched area in Asia. It is hoped that the appearance of this book will solicit more economic research interests on this region that will eventually be transformed into greater economic integration and more prosperity in the economies of Borneo. We welcome contributions of studies in any economic field related to the Brunei, Kalimantan (part of Indonesia), Labuan, Sabah and Sarawak (parts of Malaysia).

If you are interested to contribute, please send a softcopy of your full paper to Dr. Venus Khim-Sen Liew via email: ksliew@feb.unimas.my or Dr. Evan Lau via email: lphevan@feb.unimas.my.
