説明

Anthony Reid's achievements are mentioned in all of the Introductions, showing the deep impact of his research. One special feature of this series is the volume totally devoted to the 18th century. All of the titles enable us to imagine the Southeast Asia from 15th to 19th centuries as one large cycle, with “early modern” as a common keyword. Moreover, we are also reminded of the opinions of Victor Lieberman.<br>Volume 3 mainly deals with the 15-17th century. It is mentioned in the Introduction that this volume deals with the “early modern” period, corresponding to the “age of commerce”. Moreover, it is regarded as a time when economic quantitative expansion caused qualitative transformations in politics and culture. The volume consists of two parts: Part I dealing with the age of commerce and external powers, in which the editor regards the activity of such powers as the initial moment of the age of commerce; Part II dealing with the formation of the spheres of the Southeast Asian states and internal forces.<br>Volume 4 asserts the importance of the 18th century, when the present day political framework formed via the 19th century first emerged. The formation process of that framework corresponds to each of the volume's three parts: the expansion of primarygoods demand inducing exploitation and development on the frontier and bringing aboutt autonomous polities (Part I: The Frontier Age); the increasing importance of overseas Chinese as intermediaries and labor force and the formation of singular societies in frontier regions and pluralistic ones in urban areas (Part II: The Chinese Era); and the expansion of colonial and “big” states on the mainland, serving the political framework in which Chinese dropped out of competition and lost political independence (Part III: Broader Geo-Historical Spheres).<br>Volume 5 deals mainly with the 19th century. Saito summarizes the 19th century as “the age of change accelerated”. Part I, “Initiation for Modernity, ” examines how three countries on the mainland tried to manage the new situation. Part II, “Colonization and Change of “ Traditional” States, ” describes mainly the colonization aspect, and Part III, “Urban Metamorphosis, ” contains a vivid description of four cities which serve as the symbols of their countries even today.<br>While these five centuries should indeed be considered as a cycle, whether or not that cycle should be called “early modern” is by no means certain. Up to the end of the 19th century, there still survived the “periphery” and “traditional society”. Both were more steadfast than in earlier period, but look ambiguous from the viewpoint of the modern state. They became the objects of “reorganization”.
