Abstract:

A critical assessment of the history of Brunei over the last fifty years, with particular emphasis on the evolution of the economy and the way in which the constitutional process has been managed. The author discusses a number of areas of possible concern for the future, including the position of non-citizens and the difficulties of diversifying an economy almost entirely based on oil and gas.
