Book is in pristine condition. Spine tight with no creases. Pages clean and unmarked. This reflective and provocative book outlines the emergence of the nation-states of modern Southeast Asia. It considers various ways of looking at Southeast Asian history, combining narrative, analysis and discussion. The book's three sections give a broad historical overview of individual nation-states, reflect on significant problems in understanding Southeast Asia, and explore the current state of writing Southeast Asian history. This book reflects a lifetime's scholarship and will become a major interpretive synthesis of modern Southeast Asia.

Review
'This slim and thoughtful book will come as a surprise to those who know Nicholas Tarling as a prolific empirical historian of the British presence in Southeast Asia ... Since editing the Cambridge History of Southeast Asia in 1992, he has been taking a more reflective look at the region as a whole. This book consists of a series of short essays on the political and international status of Southeast Asia's modern states within the world system.' Anthony Reid, The Australian National University
'The study of nations, states, and nationalisms has taken on a particular urgency today ... In spite of its importance, however, the emergence of modern nation-states in Asia has not been studied systematically in a historical and comparative way in the past ... Nicholas Tarling's stimulating and cogent study therefore is a much welcome contribution to the literature on the nation-state, especially in the Southeast Asian context ... Tarling's book : is a major comparative historical study of nations, states, and nationalism in the Southeast Asian context.' New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies
