Nationalism in Southeast Asia seeks a definition of nationalism
through examining its role in the history of Southeast Asia, a
region rarely included in general books on the topic. By developing
such a definition and testing it out, Nicholas Tarling hopes at the
same time to make a contribution to Southeast Asian historiography
and to limit its 'ghettoization'. The state building of the
colonial phase 1949-1975 is seen as a directed process with
unexpected outcomes: it helped to create and to provoke opposition
that took the form of 'nationalist' movements. Tarling goes onto
consider the role of nationalism in the 'nation-building' of the
post-colonial phase, and its relationship both with the democratic
aspirations associated with the winning of independence and with
the authoritarianism of the closing decades of the twentieth
century. Finally, Tarling offers comment on the 'new nationalisms'
that authoritarianism has helped to provoke, and their prospects,
as well as those of the nation states, in the current phase of
globalization.
