Despite the end of the Cold War and the threat of communist insurgency, the states of Southeast Asia continued to acquire weapons in the 1990s. Indeed Southeast Asia witnessed an increase not only in quantitative terms but also qualitatively, economic prosperity enjoyed by these 'tiger economies' enabling the regimes to order sophisticated aircraft and naval capabilities. The economic crisis of the late 1990s has curtailed some of these projects, with those hardest hit—Thailand and Indonesia—postponing indefinitely their orders for advanced fighter planes. Although the economic crisis has not stopped arms procurement by all states in the region, it has clearly brought an abrupt end to the region's arms build-up. |
