The success of regionalism in Southeast Asia depends on the
attitudes of the states within the region but also on the attitude
of those outside it. This book is an erudite and stimulating study
on the latter. Placing these states in a long term historical
context Tarling brings out the way in which the rivalries of those
powers within the region and outside it have affected the states
within the region. He also shows how divisions within the region,
and within states in the region, offered invitations and
opportunities for intervention from outside, and so perhaps gave
Southeast Asia an importance in international relations it would
not otherwise have had. Regional leaders appear in recent decades
to have recognised what may be construed as one of the lessons of
history; if Southeast Asia can provide security for the Straits
route, and stable conditions for trade and investment, it might
enjoy both peace and a measure of prosperity.
Southeast Asia and the Great Powers is an important read for
students and scholars of the history and international relations of
Southeast Asia.
