Imperialism in Southeast Asia examines its subject against a
backdrop of those countries that could at a given time be called
imperialist: Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands and the US.
Examining the imperialist phenomenon from this wide-ranging
perspective reveals imperialism as driven by rivalry; it also
facilitates comparison: imperialism has elements in common, yet
differs according to the territory in which it operates. This is
one of the few studies of imperialism to concentrate on Southeast
Asia. Nicholas Tarling's definition of imperialism focuses on the
establishment of political control from 1870 to 1914. Moving
forward in time, the author analyses attempts to re-establish
control after the overthrow of imperial regimes in the Second World
War. Most recently, Southeast Asia has become a region of
independent states, and Tarling discusses imperial ventures as
forms of state-building. At the same time, his discussion reflects
another contemporary concern-globalisation and the relationship of
the state to that process. Nicolas Tarling is an eminent writer in
Asian history. His latest book will be of great interest to all
those studying or involved in Asian studies, history and politics.
