General Information

Overview

This unit will present you with a general overview of the major themes in modern South East Asian history. It presents the history and politics of these eleven countries and nation-states by first looking at the religious, cultural and philosophical underpinnings of political culture, traditional concepts of kingship and power, and the characteristics of pre-colonial states. In the rest of the unit you will investigate: the classical states of Southeast Asia (Angkor, Pagan, Madjapahit, Sri Vijaya), the Western intrusion and the colonial transformation, the development of nationalism, the Japanese occupation, independence from European colonial masters, and finally, contemporary South East Asian politics.
