Abstract
Introduction briefly explains the aims of the book and main arguments of each chapter (8 chapters). All the chapters have shown the importance of approaching maritime Asia from two interlinked angles, namely, an internal dynamics from within the region and systemic connections with the external forces. The intertwining of these forces shaped the social, economic, and political trajectories of Maritime Asia. These chapters are supported by a variety of primary sources including English, Japanese, Chinese, Malay, and Russian, etc., thus presenting and unveiling the diverse perspectives of local, national, and regional forces that were all indispensible for an understanding of Maritime Asia.
