This book provides the basis for a reconceptualization of key
features in Southeast Asia's history. Scholars from Europe,
America, and Asia examine evolutionary patterns of Europe's and
Japan's Southeast Asian empires from the late nineteenth century
through World War II, and offer important insights into the
specific events of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In turn, their
different perspectives on the political, economic, and cultural
currents of the "post-colonial" era - including Southeast Asia's
gradual adjustment to globalizing forces - enhance understanding of
the dynamics of the decolonization process. Drawing on new and
wide-ranging research in international relations, economics,
anthropology, and cultural studies, the book looks at the impact of
decolonization and the struggle of the new nation-states with
issues such as economic development, cultural development,
nation-building, ideology, race, and modernization. The
contributors also consider decolonization as a phenomenon within
the larger international structure of the Cold War and the
post-Cold War eras.
Decolonization changed the spatial order of the globe, the
imagination of men and women around the world and established
images of the globe. Both individuals and social groups shaped
decolonization itself: this volume puts agency squarely at the
center of debate by looking at elites and leaders who changed the
course of history across the world.

Die Auflosung der europaischen Kolonialreiche und die Entstehung
neuer unabhangiger Staaten in Afrika und Asien gehort zu den
wichtigsten historischen Prozessen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die
Dekolonisierung veranderte das Gesicht der Welt, das Denken der
Menschen und den Charakter der internationalen Politik. Marc Frey
ruckt die Haltung der amerikanischen Politik gegenuber der
Dekolonisierung in Sudostasien in den Mittelpunkt. So macht er die
Weltbilder der amerikanischen Entscheidungstrager kenntlich und
ihre Sicht auf die Menschen und Gesellschaften Sudostasiens. Alle
zentralen Felder amerikanischer Aussenpolitik spielen hier mit
hinein: Diplomatie, Entwicklungspolitik, geheimdienstliche
Operationen, Kulturdiplomatie. Deutlich wird zugleich, wie die
Zukunftsvisionen und Herrschaftsvorstellungen der europaischen
Kolonialmachte mit den Emanzipationsbestrebungen der
sudostasiatischen Nationalismen kontrastierten."
At the core of this book is a seemingly simple question: What is
Asia? In search of common historical roots, traditions and visions
of political-cultural integration, first Japanese, then Chinese,
Korean and Indian intellectuals, politicians and writers understood
Asianisms as an umbrella for all conceptions, imaginations and
processes which emphasized commonalities or common interests among
different Asian regions and nations. This book investigates the
multifarious discursive and material constructions of Asia within
the region and in the West. It reconstructs regional
constellations, intersections and relations in their national,
transnational and global contexts. Moving far beyond the more
well-known Japanese Pan-Asianism of the first half of the twentieth
century, the chapters investigate visions of Asia that have sought
to provide common meanings and political projects in efforts to
trace, and construct, Asia as a united and common space of
interaction. By tracing the imagination of civil society actors
throughout Asia, the volume leaves behind state-centered approaches
to regional integration and uncovers the richness and depth of
complex identities within a large and culturally heterogeneous
space.
