Abstract

We used the number of volume of hyperlinks, that is, electronic data from Google, for 19 large cities in South and Southeast Asia to demonstrate their national (in the case of India), regional, and extraregional linkages. The results can be used to illustrate the degree of intraregional and interregional flows of information about the global financial crisis between major and minor cities within South and Southeast Asia and other major global economic powers. Singapore, without doubt, is the major city in these regions. Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore, Bangkok, Delhi, and Mumbai are in a second category; Lahore, Karachi, Kolkata, and Dhaka are in yet another category. Indian cities exhibit strong national linkages. The accompanying tables, maps, and graphs illustrate the vast contrasts between cities in these two regions.

Fußnoten
1
Other potential “problems” with the present hyperlink analysis such as word order, temporality, and language are largely discussed by Devriendt et al. (2009).

Although other South and Southeast Asian cities such as Kathmandu, Thimpu, Vientienne, Phnom Penh, and Bandar Seri Bagawan are worthy to examine, we based our selection of cities on the top 100 Demographia list (in terms of population). In further research, we will enlarge this list.
