This chapter explores the dynamic relations between global forces and the actions of emerging Asian states in order to show how neoliberal logic reconfigures the territory of citizenship. the rise of the so-called new Asian tiger countries in Southeast Asia has been accomplished by their partially subordinating themselves to the demands of major corporations and global regulatory agencies. In the course of such interactions with global markets and regulatory institutions, the governments have created new economic possibilities, spaces, and political constellations for governing the (national) population. I make two conceptual claims about how interactions between neoliberalism and state action produce a variety of outcomes for unconventional spaces of government. First, the experiences of these small, relatively open Asia states present an instructive case of how postdevelopmental strategies influenced by neoliberal rationality treat populations in relation to global market forces, producing alternative spatialities of government and gradations in citizenship rights and benefits. Second, there is a clash of neoliberal calculations at different scales, as postdevelopmental geographies come into tension with international regulatory agencies that seek to open up national spaces to financial markets. Thus exposing all citizens to market upheavals. Emerging countries, I argue, are compelled to be flexible in their conceptions of sovereignty and citizenship if they are to be relevant to global markets.
