Sommario/riassunto

Astride the historical maritime silk routes linking India to China, as this book develops, East-Southeast Asia can also be viewed as a global region-in-the-making over a long-time. This book situates itself within a new genre of writing on zones between nations, especially prior to the emergence of the modern nation-state.
