Malaysia , Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines have labor, tourist, and timber zones, and postsocialist Vietnam and Burma have followed this logic of configuring the national territory into multiple zones of development. Newer kinds of spaces include science parks and knowledge centers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. Indeed, China may have been most audacious in deploying zoning technologies, as evidenced by the three main planning strategies that have re-spatialized its capitalist development: special economic zones, special autonomous zones, and urban development zones. Asian states have a tendency to deploy neoliberal logic for mapping spaces that are administered according to differentiated political conditions. Negatively defined, some zones are freed from national laws regarding taxation, labor rights, or ethnic representation. Spaces defined positively promote opportunities to upgrade skilled workers, to improve social and infrastructural facilities, to experimental with greater political right, and so on.
