This edited volume containing thirty-five chapters focuses on three main contemporary issues: the phenomenon of "new Indians" in the past five decades, the impact of rising India on settled Indian communities, and the recent migrants. By examining these interrelated aspects, this study seeks to address questions like: what does "Rising India" mean to Indian communities in East Asia?

A sweeping account of how the sea routes of Asia have transformed a vast expanse of the globe over the past five hundred years, powerfully shaping the modern world In the centuries leading up to our own, the volume of traffic across Asian sea routes—an area stretching from East Africa and the Middle East to Japan—grew dramatically, eventually making them the busiest in the world. The result was a massive circulation of people, commodities, religion, culture, technology, and ideas. In this book, Eric Tagliacozzo chronicles how the seas and oceans of Asia have shaped the history of the largest continent for the past half millennium, leaving an indelible mark on the modern world in the process. Paying special attention to migration, trade, the environment, and cities, In Asian Waters examines the long history of contact between China and East Africa, the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism across the Bay of Bengal, and the intertwined histories of Islam and Christianity in the Philippines. The book illustrates how India became central to the spice trade, how the Indian Ocean became a “British lake” between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, and how lighthouses and sea mapping played important roles in imperialism. The volume ends by asking what may happen if China comes to rule the waves of Asia, as Britain once did. A novel account showing how Asian history can be seen as a whole when seen from the water, In Asian Waters presents a voyage into a past that is still alive in the present.

While scholars have long documented the migration of people in ancient and medieval times, they have paid less attention to those who traveled across borders with some regularity. This study of early transnational relations explores the routine interaction of people across the boundaries of empires, tribal confederacies, kingdoms, and city-states, paying particular attention to the role of long-distance trade along the Silk Road and maritime trade routes. It examines the obstacles voyagers faced, including limited travel and communication capabilities, relatively poor geographical knowledge, and the dangers of a fragmented and shifting political landscape, and offers profiles of better-known transnational elites such as the Hellenic scholar Herodotus and the Venetian merchant Marco Polo, as well lesser known servants, merchants, and sailors. By revealing the important political, economic, and cultural role cross-border trade and travel played in ancient society, this work demonstrates that transnationalism is not unique to modern times.

"Ho Ying Chan provides an expert analysis of Malaysia–Indonesia relations. He demystifies the concept of a 'special relationship', rescuing it from woolly, sentimental rhetoric that often emanates from political figures and popular commentators. His well-informed study shows how a state’s will to survive in the amoral world of international relations drives its conduct even in circumstances of common identities and common strategic interests with other states. He evaluates comparative evidence to shed light on how a special relationship leads to the emergence of a pluralistic security community. This is a conclusion of insight and value, not only to the field of Southeast Asian Studies, but also to the wider community of International Relations scholars." — Professor Clinton Fernandes, University of New South Wales, Australia "Empirically rich and theoretically interesting, this book offers an illuminating account of how material and ideational dynamics shape the evolution of Malaysia–Indonesia relations. Focusing on what is arguably the most vital bilateral relationship in Southeast Asia, it addresses the circumstances, conditions and constraints that determine the double-edged effects of the culturally bound 'special relationship'. Ho Ying Chan argues that while their shared serumpun identities and strategic interests do give rise to a considerable closeness between Malaysia and Indonesia, the politics of power (im)balance have prevented the transformation of the special relationship into a 'pluralistic security community', as their egoistic understanding averts the formation of collective self. The book generates useful insights on the interplay of cross-border cultural affinity and political necessity, inviting readers to ponder the politics of identity and survivability at the international level. It is a welcome addition to the growing literature of Southeast Asian international relations." — Dr Kuik Cheng-Chwee, National University of Malaysia (UKM) "Ho Ying Chan’s important study brings home the international and theoretical significance of the interaction between Malaysia and Indonesia, the two major states of Muslim Southeast Asia — products of the territorial division between the British and Dutch colonial empires. This welcome and revealing review of the Malaysia–Indonesia story deepens our understanding of the concept of a 'special relationship' — explaining both the cooperative and competitive dynamics that can be present, and the way such relationships are influenced by state identities and power imbalances." — Anthony Milner, University of Malaya; University of Melbourne

我們的島，位於亞洲的海。 現在就讓我們跟隨作者，離開習以為常的亞洲陸地，來一趟深度亞洲海洋之旅吧！ 我們應該都聽過下面這個故事。十五世紀初，明朝鄭和七次下西洋，可能曾遠抵非洲東南外海的馬達加斯加島。其中一次航程，東非麻林國向來訪使團獻上神獸「麒麟」。神獸隨艦隊一路飄洋過海，最後順利抵達中國，站在永樂皇帝面前。今日我們知道，那不是麒麟，而是我們熟悉的長頸鹿。 本書作者達瑞克（Eric Tagliacozzo）指出，鄭和下西洋其實是沿著古老的海上貿易路線前進，這些路線長期以來將東北亞與印度洋、中東乃至東非連結起來；因此，當這頭長頸鹿昂首闊步走在南京城街道上供民眾瞻仰圍觀，如同是以其肌膚、筋脈與血肉，對亞洲海上航道的連繫效用，做最飽滿且具象的呈現。 《亞洲海洋大歷史》全面探討亞洲海上航道如何形塑地球上一個無比廣大的地區：時間跨度從史前時代的南島民族遷徙，到今日南海的緊張局勢；空間範圍從非洲東部海岸、東南亞群島，一直延伸到北方的日本海。作者以跨海域和跨學科的寬闊視野，描述人員、商品、宗教、文化、科技與觀念，如何藉由亞洲海路大規模流動，為這座全世界最大的洲創造歷史，也為現代世界留下深刻印記。 全書用主題架構，以展現亞洲海洋所蘊含的歷史經驗多樣性。內容方面不僅融會大量史料與研究成果，作者更時不時現身說法，穿插自己的旅遊見聞和實地訪談，佐證海洋連結真實存在且歷久不衰，寫法令人耳目一新。 我們的島，位於亞洲的海。現在就讓我們跟隨作者，離開習以為常的亞洲陸地，來一趟深度亞洲海洋之旅吧！我們將對這個世界產生全新看法，這也是本書的最大企圖。 專文導讀 鄭維中｜中央研究院臺灣史研究所副研究員 國際讚譽 ▲ 藉助於長時間的旅行、豐富的檔案、無數場碼頭對話，達瑞克的傑作讓我們看到海洋亞洲環環相扣的歷史，如何形塑今日我們的世界。這是一部既壯闊又切身的亞洲海洋史：洋溢著港口城市的活色生香，由一位天生的說書人以優雅與同理心娓娓道來。──阿姆瑞斯（Sunil Amrith），《失控的水域：降雨、河川、海岸、海洋如何形塑亞洲歷史》（Unruly Waters: How Rains, Rivers, Coasts, and Seas Have Shaped Asia’s History）作者 ▲ 達瑞克輕車熟路，穿梭在層層疊疊的主題之間：環境、宗教、帝國強權與科技、都市主義與貿易，寫出一部精采的亞洲海洋史。《亞洲海洋大歷史》帶領讀者踏上一場冒險發現之旅，追索從阿拉伯海、孟加拉灣到南海的歷史連結。──鮑斯（Sugata Bose），《一百道地平線：全球帝國年代的印度洋》（A Hundred Horizons: The Indian Ocean in the Age of Global Empire）作者 ▲ 《亞洲海洋大歷史》是一部取材深厚、行文流暢、涵蓋全球的歷史作品，從東非海岸與紅海出發，橫渡印度洋，進入南海與蘇祿海，來到太平洋。達瑞克沿著宗教傳播迴路展開旅程，行經古代與現代的港口城市，遊歷生產海參與香料的地帶，與在地民眾及學者辯論政治、海盜、貿易公司、海道測量站、燈塔、佛牌與航空母艦，為數百年來的亞洲海洋譜寫出一部史詩之作。──馬特．松田（Matt K.

There is a dearth of good books on accounting in China, East Asia and Southeast Asia. This book makes a valuable contribution towards filling the gap. In particular, the authors focus on the extent of the harmonisation of domestic standards with international accounting standards and on the development of the accounting profession. The final chapter in Part III deals with the problems and prospects for accounting harmonisation in the region.
