This exemplary work of international collaboration takes a
comparative approach to the histories of Northeast and Southeast
Asia, with contributions from scholars from Japan, Korea and the
Englishspeaking academic world. The new scholarship represented by
this volume demonstrates that the vast and growing commercial
interactions between the countries of eastern Asia have long
historical roots. The so-called "opening" to Western trade in the
mid-nineteenth century, which is typically seen as the beginning of
this process, is shown to be rather the reversal of a relatively
temporary phase of state consolidation in the long eighteenth
century.
