In this book, trade provides the integrating framework for local and regional histories that cover more than three hundred years, from the late sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth, when new technologies and changing markets helped lead to Western dominance. This book presents theories from the social sciences and economics that can help liberate scholars from dependence on states as narrative frameworks. It will also appeal to those working on wider themes such as global history, state formation, the evolution of markets, and anthropology.

Southeast Asia, c.1600–c.1906 by Heather Sutherland. The diversity and cultural richness of the region comes to life in images and maps. This combination of ambition and caution led the author to divide the book into two sections. The first, Foundations, traces the geographic, economic and political patterns which constituted a deeply rooted sub-stratum knitting this extensive region together. These synchronic chapters provide the basis for the cautious part two, Glimpsed Histories. The author seemed to tread carefully here. Although she emphasizes the trading ties and political alliances that connected diverse regions into shifting clusters, the author tries to give politically unincorporated societies their due share of attention. Trade rather than the state is the central motif. The resulting story is one of adaptation, opportunities grasped and lost, and of tenuous but very resilient webs within wider systems. But it is all very incomplete: local perspectives are extremely rare. Rather than forcibly merging these Glimpsed Histories into one explicit theme the author has deliberately chosen to leave the fragments where they lie. The results may be jagged, but a little uncertainty is preferable to a misleading homogenisation which could preclude promising avenues of enquiry.

The global implications of China’s transition to an innovation-led economy will be significant, given its size and the degree of China’s integration into world trade and global value chains. The degree of scrutiny on the manner and means of transition will likewise be intense, but this book (available free to read online) sets key parameters of the discussion.Kartomi, Margaret (21 September 2020).

It has resonance for a wide readership and could easily sit as a core textbook for studies on South East Asia, providing as it does a useful source of comparison on European encounters with non-European Others. The book’s biggest contribution lies in the environmentally determined aspect of the research methodology.”
