- Summary
- "Decolonization is an important part of Southeast Asia's history. An understanding of the evolutionary patterns of Europe's and Japan's empires in Southeast Asia from the late nineteenth century through World War II provides important insights into the specific events of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In turn, the political, economic, and cultural currents of the "postcolonial" era -- including Southeast Asia's gradual adjustment to globalizing forces -- enhances our understanding of the dynamics of the multifaceted decolonization process. This volume moves beyond the traditional view of decolonization as simply a transfer of power. Instead, the chapters emphasize the process, rather than events, to provide a framework for discussion. The authors look 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 editors have brought together European, American, and Asian scholars to share different perspectives and insights on decolonization and Southeast Asia's development in the post-colonial era.
