Synopsis
In this assessment of the changing nature of relations between the two Islamic regions of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, von der Mehden investigates the degree to which a common religion has influenced economic ties. He further examines the extent of Southeast Asian political involvement in the Middle East and of Middle Eastern interest in Southeast Asia, and the character and amount of foreign religious thought reaching Muslims in Southeast Asia. In the Middle East, the author studies Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, the Gulf states and Pakistan. In Southeast Asia, he deals with those states where most of the population is Muslim - Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei - as well as the Philippines, Thailand and Burma. Von der Mehden finds that common religions have not brought the expected economic rewards to Southeast Asian Muslims, also that the character of Southeast Asian official involvement in the Middle East is heavily influenced by domestic factors in each country, and that a lot more and varied Islamic religious thought has permeated Southeast Asia in recent decades. Although Islamic resurgence is a vital element in contemporary Malaysia and Indonesia, the author is not of the opinion that either area will be ""another Iran"". This volume is aimed at policy makers and scholars and students of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and of international and political relations.
