The success of regionalism in Southeast Asia hinges on both the internal attitudes of the states within the region and the attitudes of external powers. This book presents an erudite and stimulating study of the latter. By placing the states of Southeast Asia within a long-term historical context, Tarling highlights how the rivalries of both regional and external powers have shaped the states within the region. He also examines how internal divisions within Southeast Asia have opened the door for external interventions, thereby increasing the region’s importance in international relations. In recent decades, regional leaders have recognized a key lesson from history: if Southeast Asia can ensure security for the Straits route and provide stable conditions for trade and investment, it can enjoy both peace and prosperity.
Southeast Asia and the Great Powers is an essential read for students and scholars of the history and international relations of Southeast Asia.
