The Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia has gained prominence in Middle Eastern and global markets through high-profile projects such as the futuristic city of Neom and the acquisition of English football club Newcastle United. These initiatives have drawn international attention to the PIF’s expanding scale and scope of activities, prompting debates over market distortions abroad and governance, accountability, and social justice at hom…
Asia in flux: Network power, new regionalism, and global development
This article introduces the special issue titled ‘Asia in flux: network power, new regionalism, and global development’. Alongside the other 13 articles, it examines the dynamics of Asian regionalisation through three interlinked themes: trade/production regimes, financial flows, and sociocultural networks.

China’s Investment and Trade in Bangladesh: Local Realities and Global Implications
In the wake of its burgeoning outward foreign direct investment (FDI) and export activities over the past decades, China’s presence in the global economy has attracted considerable attention. This discussion is witnessed just as much in Bangladesh, the main subject of this paper.

A Nanyang Approach to the Belt and Road Initiative: Malaysia and Its Dilemmas
Beneath the Veneer: The Political Economy of Housing in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor
The rise of Iskandar Malaysia as a regional hub has profoundly altered the domestic landscape, generating a knock-on effect on Johor's housing development, both economically and politically. Housing policy and development in Johor, as illustrated in the formation of Iskandar Malaysia, is riddled with conflict along two dimensions — bumiputra versus non-bumiputra and federal government versus state government. The first one is entangled with inter…
