This book analyzes the development of these frontiers in Insular Southeast Asia as well as the accompanying smuggling activities of the opium traders, currency runners, and human traffickers who pierced such newly drawn borders with growing success.The book presents a history of the evolution of this 3000-km frontier, and then inquires into the smuggling of contraband: who smuggled and why, what routes were favored, and how effectively the British and Dutch were able to enforce their economic, moral, and political will. Examining the history of states and smugglers playing off one another within a hidden but powerful economy of forbidden cargoes, the book also offers new insights into the modern political economies of Southeast Asia. 606 $aSmuggling$zSoutheast Asia$xHistory 606 $aDrug traffic$zSoutheast Asia$xHistory 606 $aCounterfeits and counterfeiting$zSoutheast Asia$xHistory 606 $aIllegal arms transfers$zSoutheast Asia$xHistory 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xCommerce$xHistory 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xBoundaries$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAsia$xHistory 607 $aNetherlands$xColonies$zAsia$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aSmuggling$xHistory. 615 0$aDrug traffic$xHistory. 615 0$aCounterfeits and counterfeiting$xHistory. 615 0$aIllegal arms transfers$xHistory. 676 $a364.1/33 700 $aTagliacozzo$b Eric$0555642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777853503321 996 $aSecret trades, porous borders$93845530 997 $aUNINA
