This collection of essays collects the leading scholars on British
colonial thought in Southeast Asia to consider the question: what
was the relationship between liberalism and the British Empire in
Southeast Asia? The empire builders in Southeast Asia: Lord Minto,
William Farquhar, John Leyden, Thomas Stamford Raffles, and John
Crawfurd - to name a few - were fervent believers in a liberal free
trade order in Southeast Asia. Many recent studies of British
imperialism, and European imperialism more generally, have
addressed how the anti-imperialist tradition of Eighteenth century
liberalism was increasingly intertwined with the discourses of
empire, freedom, race and economics in the nineteenth century. This
collection extends those studies to look at the impact of
liberalism on. British colonialism in Southeast Asia and early
nineteenth century Southeast Asia we see some of the first attempts
at developing multicultural democracies within the colonies,
experiments in free trade and attempts to use free trade to prevent
war and colonisation.
