Through an exploration of British rule in southeast Asia between
1770-1890, this book shows the importance of Britain’s political
and commercial hegemony in creating present-day “Asian-tiger”
economies in this region. Anthony Webster stresses the importance
of London capitalist interest, the role of Indian merchants and the
growing Chinese community in developing regions in southeast Asia.
Through this, this volume explores major events which led to this
influence, including the acquisition of Penang, the defeat of
European powers in the war of 1815, the growth of both British and
Indian industries, the establishment of Singapore and the creation
of an ‘informal empire’ in the Malay peninsular.
