​This Brief provides a cross-sectional analysis of development-directed investments in the wider Mekong region. The wider Mekong region includes Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Chinese province of Yunnan. Evidence highlights that a few critical dynamics, including human migration, natural resource flows, and financial investments, generate a high level of connectivity between these countries. Such high levels of connectivity increase complexity and the potential for ripple effects of national decisions. The emerging links between countries can unfold in financial investments, migration, or the flow of resources. As these links intensify the regional connectivity increases and over time a highly connected region can emerge, as experienced by the Mekong region.​ This Brief also contains a chapter at the end of the book featuring numerous charts and diagrams further illustrating the impact of development activities in the area.

The emancipation of Jews that commenced in Germany in the early 19th century pushed many Jews into urban commerce, industries, and intellectual professions. The ongoing modernization and the Jewish prominence in business brought about an anti-Jewish reaction. Jews were seen as the incarnation of the new materialistic "Zeitgeist", dishonest merchants pursuing non-German business practices, and usurpers of economic power. The Jews represented an alien, unwanted economic system. The backlash against the Jewish businessman was reflected in contemporary literature, from Wilhelm Hauff's "Jud Süß" (1827) to the Nazi novel "Shylock unter Bauern" by Felix Nabor (1934). Examines the representation of the Jewish businessman in German literature, in both antisemitic works and apologetic ones. Two "schools of thought" can be discerned in these writings: that the Jews, including the businessmen, can be corrected and assimilated into the German nation (e.g. in Freytag's "Soll und Haben", 1855); and the racist and eliminationist conception of the Jews as unassimilable and inherently detrimental aliens who have to be removed from the body of the nation (as in Wilhelm von Polenz's "Der Büttnerbauer", 1895), with Heinrich Mann's anti-Jewish writings somewhere in between. Discusses also the ambivalent stance of Theodor Fontane. Dwells on two "cautionary tales" written by Jewish authors and addressed to the Jews: the novel "Jud Süß" by Feuchtwanger (1925) and the play "Jud Süß" by Paul Kornfeld (1929), as well as responses to antisemitism addressed to a general audience: "Der neue Ahasver" by Fritz Mauthner (1881), "René Richter" by Lothar Brieger-Wasservogel (1906), and Hermann Bahr's "Die Rotte Korahs" (1919), a philosemitic non-Jewish response.
