problem.

You pick your side.

You debate as much

or as little as you

want.

You will all role play.

You define your goals,

class.

You are not playing a

game.

You will focus oncooperation.

PART TWO HISTORY OF SOUTHEAST ASIAA synthesis of our course as seen through the story of the Southeast Asian region


16/56

The name Southeast Asia was popularized during World War II when

territories south of the Tropic of Cancer were placed under Lord LouisMountbattens Southeast Asia command.

British scholars then called it

Greater India; the French called

it LInde Exterieure (IndianizedStates)

Chinese texts called it Kun Lun

or Nan Yang (Little China)

Geographers called it Indo-

Pacificoreven Indo-China


17/56

Two main geographical regions: peninsular (mainland) and insular (island)

Peninsular Southeast Asia is

noted for its diverse mountains

and rivers that run north-south.

Along with Malaysia, the

Philippines and Indonesian islandconstitute the Malay world.

AGRARIAN KINGDOMS

MARITIME KINGDOMS


18/56

While the mainland is

ethnically diverse, the

ethnicity of insularSoutheast Asia is

dominantly Malay.


19/56

There are about 2 million Indians in Southeast Asia;

the Chinese are about 7 times that. The Chinese are

a majority in Singapore and a significant minority in

almost every other country.

PART TWO.1 ANCIENT ROOTSFrom early kingdoms to the height of empires


21/56

In 1891, Dutch paleoanthropologistEugene Dubois, discovered fossils

that resembled neither man nor ape.

Its closest resemblance would be

with Neanderthal which wasdiscovered 40 years prior.

Neanderthal first appeared 130,000

years ago.

What Dubois didnt realize at the time

though was that his find was much

older. Java Man is now dated to have

lived 500,000 to 1,000,000 years ago.


22/56

Like the Philippines, most Southeast Asian nations lack rich,

written accounts of their pre-colonial past. Majority of the

evidence remains largely archaeological.

But what they do have is telling: By around

1500BCE, Southeast Asia was in the Bronze Age.

Of these Bronze Age cultures, the Dong-Son found inVietnam is perhaps the most established.


23/56

Large-scale penetration of Indian and Chinese influence

began about two to three centuries after the first empiresin India and China.

ASHOKA

(276-239BCE)

QIN SHIH HUANGDI (221-210BCE)

India was primarily a conduit of trade and cultural

exchange. Vaishyas actively traded with early

Southeast Asian cities, and Brahmin were called on

by kings for political advice and spiritual guidance.Commerce also provided a link for Persians and

Arabs to Southeast Asia.

China was an imperialist. They were seen as

politically superior. Starting during the time of theHan, it sought to weaken the barbarians by

extracting tribute and sending their armies on

periodic raids. Their on-and-off conquest of Annam

(Vietnam) defined that countrys history.


24/56

The Angkor Wat temple complex isperhaps the most iconic image of the

Indianization of Southeast Asia. It is a

temple dedicated to Vishnu, and an

altar to transport the spirit of its king,

Suryavarman II, to heaven.


25/56


26/56

In 111BCE, Annam was conquered by Han

armies. They would be under Chinese rulefor a thousand years.

As the rest of the region adopted Hinduism

and Theravada Buddhism, Vietnam turned

Confucian and Mahayana Buddhist.

Though they achieved independence from

China in 939 as the Tang weakened, their

ties remained strong.


27/56

While kingdoms on mainland Southeast Asia relied primarily on agriculture,

kingdoms and empires in insular Southeast Asia relied on something else.

PART TWO.2 COLONIES AND CROSSESThe Age of Imperialism comes to Southeast Asia


31/56


32/56

We likened it to a seismic shift in world history.We distinguished between two waves: one from

1500s to 1700s, the other from the 1800s to

1900s.

We established that there were four forms: the

colony, protectorate, concession, and the sphere of

influence.

You debated three events and adopted competing

perspectives to explore the complexity of the

issues during the Age of Imperialism.


33/56

We linked the Age of Imperialism with the Rise of

Nationalism, particularly in the context of Middle

East Conflict.

We saw how nationalism can be a response to

imperialism and discussed how nationalist

movements can be concerned about economic

equity and social justice.

And by touching on the Cold War weve seen the

emergence of neo-imperialism.

35/56

MINDFUL of the existence ofmutual interests and common problems among countries of

South-East Asia and convinced of the need to strengthen further the existing bonds of regional

solidarity and cooperation;

DESIRING to establish a firm foundation for common action to promote regional

cooperation in South-East Asia in the spirit of equality and partnership and thereby contribute

towards peace, progress and prosperity in the region;

CONSCIOUS that in an increasingly interdependent world, the cherished ideals of peace,

freedom, social justice and economic well-being are best attained by fostering good

understanding, good neighbourliness and meaningful cooperation among the countries of

the region already bound together by ties of history and culture;

CONSIDERING that the countries of Southeast Asia share a primary responsibility for

strengthening the economic and social stability of the region and ensuring their peaceful and

progressive national development, and that they are determined to ensure their stability and

security from external interference in any form or manifestation in order to preserve theirnational identities in accordance with the ideals and aspirations of their peoples;

AFFIRMING that all foreign bases are temporary and remain only with the expressed

concurrence of the countries concerned and are not intended to be used directly or indirectly

to subvert the national independence and freedom of States in the area or prejudice the

orderly processes of their national development;

1. Colonies were seen as properties with the sole purpose

of 'making money'. Asia's share of world GDP: 60%(1800), 20% (1940). In 1925, 51% of all imports to India

came from Britain, 22% of India's exports went to Britain.

2. Colonies ran huge monopolies of export crops (ie. opium,tobacco) that did not benefit the colony.

3. Infrastructure development (roads, trains, bridges,

buildings) was suited to the needs of the imperialists.


38/56

1. Social dislocation occurred. Either people gained new

status or the old stratifications were reinforced. Case inpoint: land privatization and the creation of landed classes

and marginalized populations.

2. Education was not made to match those available to thedominators. (Most remained illiterate.) If ever available,

public education was seen as a form of cultural

imperialism.

3. Overpopulation ran unchecked. Economic development

did not keep up with the rising population.


39/56

1. Geographic realignment occurred. New borders were

created (the countries in the former French Indo-China),unmarked territories are now disputed (Spratly's) and

minorities were formed (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia).

2. The entrance of liberal ideas led to nationalistmovements, republican governments, and democratic

aspirations.

3. A European-style state (with bureaucracy, representation

and taxation) was imposed on an Asian culture that is

deferent to authority, reliant on familial networks, and the

good of the group is placed over the good of the

individual.

Inequality. Will the developing world make thenecessary social investments in health, education, and

infrastructure to bring their people into prosperity?

Climate change. The developing world will beimportant partners in solving climate change but is it fair

to make them pay for a problem the industrial countries

caused?

War. How will the worlds powers react to a worldwhere influence and wealth are tilting back towards Asia?

Observations about modern economic growth:

All regions were poor in 1820

All regions experienced economic progress

Todays rich regions experienced by the far the

greatest economic progress

In investigating the gap between rich and poor then,

the question becomes: Why do different parts of

the world grow at different rates?


51/56

Why do different parts of the world grow at different

rates? Here are some possibilities.

1. Physical geography

2. Government failure3. Cultural barriers

4. Geopolitics

5. Lack of innovation

6. Demographic trap

7. Poverty trap

I don't really consider this a political issue,

The current climate crisis is seen mostly as the product

of the developed economies. Why should developing

countries pay the price for something that isnt their fault?
