The origins and the key defining moments of the Cold War in
Southeast Asia have been widely debated. This book focuses on an
area that has received less attention, the impact and legacy of the
Cold War on the various countries in the region, as well as on the
region itself.
The book contributes to the historiography of the Cold War in
Southeast Asia by examining not only how the conflict shaped the
milieu in which national and regional change unfolded but also how
the context influenced the course and tenor of the Cold War in the
region. It goes on to look at the usefulness or limitations of
using the Cold War as an interpretative framework for understanding
change in Southeast Asia.
Chapters discuss how the Cold War had a varied but notable
impact on the countries in Southeast Asia, not only on the mainland
countries belonging to what the British Foreign Office called the
"upper arc," but also on those situated on its maritime "lower
arc." The book is an important contribution to the fields of Asian
Studies and International Relations.
