In the interest of national competitiveness, the middle-range economies of South-East Asia have used two mechanisms for attracting foreign investments and technology transfers. These are, first, linking up with; corporations that have regionalized production networks; and, second, the promotion of technological parks with the aim of attracting international technologies, expertise, and investments. In both cases, governments have become flexible in their management of sovereignty, so that different production sites vary in their mix of legal protections, controls, and repressive regimes. Citizens in zones that are differently articulated to global production and financial circuits are subjected to different kinds of surveillance, and in practice enjoy different sets of civil, political, and economic rights.
