Download or read book The Making of South East Asia (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) written by George Coedes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of its original publication in France, this cultural history (first published in English in 1966) by an international authority has stood apart from other histories of South East Asia. Most such accounts describe events before 1500 in summary fashion, and concentrate on later developments. This book, on the contrary, deals mainly with the earlier, formative epochs that marked the flowering in the region of the Great Traditions of Hinduism and of Buddhism. Following a succinct sketch of the prehistoric period, the book moves on to a chronological account of the developments from the Chinese conquest of Annam in the third century to the period of European conquest in the nineteenth. It reflects the author’s thoughtful views concerning the evolution of political institutions, religions, literatures, and arts that distinguished the region. In geographical scope it embraces Thailand, Burma, and the area formerly known as French Indochina, and is an indispensable guide to the making of the region.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian History by : Norman G. Owen
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian History written by Norman G. Owen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the history of Southeast Asia is still growing, evolving, deepening and changing as an academic field. Over the past few decades historians have added nuance to traditional topics such as Islam and nationalism, and created new ones, such as gender, globalization and the politics of memory. The Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian History looks at the major themes that have developed in the study of modern Southeast Asian history since the mid-18th century. Contributions by experts in the field are clustered under three major headings - Political History, Economic History, and Social and Cultural History – and chapters challenge the boundaries between topics and regions. Alongside the rise and fall of colonialism, topics include conflict in Southeast Asia, tropical ecology, capitalism and its discontents, the major religions of the region, gender, and ethnicity. The Handbook provides a stimulating introduction to the most important themes within the subject area, and is an invaluable reference work for any student and researcher on Southeast Asia and Asian and World history.
Book Synopsis Communism and Reform in East Asia by : David S. G. Goodman
Download or read book Communism and Reform in East Asia written by David S. G. Goodman and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West no longer regards communism in East Asia as a threat. On the contrary, because the communist party states of East Asia appear to be undergoing a process of reform directed primarily at economic modernization, it is now regarded as a potential market. The West's attitude is reinforced by the recognition of East Asia's economic importance more generally - a perception which in itself undoubtedly stimulated reform in the region's communist party states. The causes, extent and consequences of reform in the East Asian communist party states are the concerns of the contributions to this vol.

Book Synopsis Behind the Myth (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) by : James Clad
Download or read book Behind the Myth (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) written by James Clad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most people, the ‘economic miracle’ in Asia means Japanese, Korean or Taiwanese dynamism. Less is known about Southeast Asia, where economies grouping over 300 million people have clocked astounding growth rates since 1970. But fast growth is only part of the story. In this book, first published in 1989, James Clad offers an inside look at Malaysia’s ‘kampong commerce’, at oil-rich Brunei’s ‘Shell-fare state’ and at Thailand’s business blend of bureaucrats, generals and local Chinese. The author opens the window on business politics in Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as explaining how Singapore, although a notable exception to economic passivity and business corruption, still remains hostage to geography and overseas Chinese insecurity. Apart from these country surveys, this book also analyses the constants of South East Asia and Hong Kong, including commodity earnings and the financial power of the Chinese. It describes claims of ‘intellectual dishonesty’ at Asia’s largest development bank and counters fashionable optimism that weak regional institutions will evolve into an Asian common market. Yet Clad also describes South East Asia’s impressive achievements, including an account of how their new multinational companies are feeling their way into the world economy.

Book Synopsis Early Modern Southeast Asia, 1350-1800 by : Ooi Keat Gin
Download or read book Early Modern Southeast Asia, 1350-1800 written by Ooi Keat Gin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents extensive new research findings on and new thinking about Southeast Asia in this interesting, richly diverse, but much understudied period. It examines the wide and well-developed trading networks, explores the different kinds of regimes and the nature of power and security, considers urban growth, international relations and the beginnings of European involvement with the region, and discusses religious factors, in particular the spread and impact of Christianity. One key theme of the book is the consideration of how well-developed Southeast Asia was before the onset of European involvement, and, how, during the peak of the commercial boom in the 1500s and 1600s, many polities in Southeast Asia were not far behind Europe in terms of socio-economic progress and attainments.
Book Synopsis The Stakes of Democracy in South-East Asia (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) by : H. J. van Mook
Download or read book The Stakes of Democracy in South-East Asia (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) written by H. J. van Mook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will national independence bring to the peoples of South East Asia liberty and democracy? Or will it mean corrupt government, factional strife and insolvency? Or will it mean eventual absorption by totalitarian communism? In this book, first published in 1950, the author analyses these questions, using the case history of Indonesia since 1940, in which he played a leading role, to illustrate his points. He gives an outline of the history of South East Asia, its domination by the West and its convulsion by war and nationalism. The seven nations of South East Asia – Ceylon, Burma, Siam, Indo-China, Malaya, Indonesia and the Philippines – have a great deal in common: except for Siam, they are all struggling through the formative years of nationhood; except for Ceylon, they were all occupied and pillaged by Japan during the War. They are of great value to other nations as a source of raw materials and foodstuffs. Their political and economic structure is of vital importance, both to themselves and to us and unless their new nationalism can be strengthened, the free world may lose a valuable asset to its economy and an ally against totalitarianism in Asia.
Book Synopsis People's War (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) by : J.L.S. Girling
Download or read book People's War (RLE Modern East and South East Asia) written by J.L.S. Girling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1969, casts a critical eye over the problem of insurgency. The author sees insurgency not just as a matter of technique – military tactics or organizational skill – nor as the result of ‘force and fraud’, but as ‘people’s war’: the conditions in which the mass of the people become involved, voluntarily or otherwise, on either side. He quotes Nasution’s statement, ‘The guerrilla movement is only the result, not the cause of the problem’. People’s war brings the peasantry, hitherto ignorant, apathetic or rejected, into the political process. For ‘war is ... the continuation of politics by other means’. In Asia this was essentially a peasant’s war, arising when peasant grievances, interests or demands cannot be met under the existing ‘legitimate’ but urban or landowner-orientated system of rule. It shows little understanding to blame outside intervention when peasant – and nationalist – unrest leads to revolt. The Chinese Communists did not owe success to Soviet aid, the Vietminh to Chinese assistance or the Vietcong to North Vietnamese intervention. The conclusion applies to governments as to insurgents: no amount of outside aid can win the war for them if they themselves are incapable and the people – on whom they depend for support – have no will to fight. This book, based on first-hand experience of the area and on study of original sources, offers (1) an analysis of ‘people’s war’ in China, Indochina and Vietnam, (2) a critique of US policy in Laos and Vietnam and (3) a comparison with counter-measures in Malaya, the Philippines and Indonesia. It is both original and constructive.
Book Synopsis New Perspectives on the History and Historiography of Southeast Asia by : Michael Arthur Aung-Thwin
Download or read book New Perspectives on the History and Historiography of Southeast Asia written by Michael Arthur Aung-Thwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique "old-new" treatment, this book presents new perspectives on several important topics in Southeast Asian history and historiography. Based on original, primary research, it reinterprets and revises several long-held conventional views in the field, covering the period from the "classical" age to the twentieth century. Chapters share the approach to Southeast Asian history and historiography: namely, giving "agency" to Southeast Asia in all research, analysis, writing, and interpretation. The book honours John K. Whitmore, a senior historian in the field of Southeast Asian history today, by demonstrating the scope and breadth of the scholar's influence on two generations of historians trained in the West. In addition to providing new information and insights on the field of Southeast Asia, this book stimulates new debate on conventional ideas, evidence, and approaches to its teaching, research, and understanding. It addresses, and in many cases, revises specific, critically important topics in Southeast Asian history on which much conventional knowledge of Southeast Asia has long been based. It is of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Studies, as well as Asian History.

Download or read book Southeast Asia written by Donald G Mccloud and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1995-05-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linking contemporary Southeast Asia with its past, this text analyzes the ways neotraditional values have begun to shape social and political attitudes, practices, and structures. Donald McCloud shows how this neotraditional resurgence is being used to define an independent path to modernity markedly at odds with the dominant Western paradigm of development. Focusing on Southeast Asia's internal dynamics as well as its relationship to the global environment, this volume traces the evolution of a unique and dynamic region.
