Decle, ‘The Murder in Africa’, New Review (December 1895); ‘Papers relating to the Execution of Mr. Stokes in the Congo State’, Parliamentary Papers, Africa No. 8, C 944 (1896); A. Luck, Charles Stokes in Africa (Nairobi, 1972). 4 Significant gaps existed even at the better-documented metropolitan end. Citing just one example from conversations with former Proof Master Roger Hancock, a considerable portion of the commercial records of gunmaking firms located in the Birmingham Proof House Library were destroyed in a mysterious boiler fire during the last century. Against this background, it is hardly surprising that the British Government should finally stop issuing data on the financial value of Britain’s arms exports, citing in 2008 ‘the tech- nical difficulty of continuing to produce reliable statistics’. Introduction 1 For a comprehensive overview, see R. A. Bitzinger (ed.) The Modern Defence Industry: Political, Economic, and Technological Issues (Santa Barbara, 2009). 2 See C. Trebilcock, The Industrialization of the Continental Powers, 1780–1914 (London, 1981); I. T. Berend, The European Periphery and Industrialization 1780–1914 (Paris, 1982); M. E. Chamberlain, ‘Pax Britannica’?: British Foreign Policy, 1789–1914 (London, 1988); and D. Blackbourn, Fontana History of Germany 1780–1918: The Long Nineteenth Century (London, 1997). European historians justify their starting-point in the 1780s by arguing that the French Revolution and the armies it spawned changed forever the geopolitical and military configuration of Europe, even as the industrialization that began in Britain was also starting to work its socio-economic transformation in the rest of the Continent. 3 See V. T. Harlow, The Founding of the Second British Empire 1763–1793, 2: New Continents and Changing Values (London, 1964), pp. 482–594; and, more recently, C. A. Bayly, The Birth of the Modern World 1780–1914: Global Connections and Comparisons (Oxford, 2004). The imperial historian’s case for starting from the late eighteenth century rests not only on Britain’s loss of the American colonies and, as an extension of European great power rivalry, the growth of commercial and strategic interests in India and the Far East. As this book argues, indi- 228 Notes 229 genous societies in Asia and Africa were themselves at various stages of crisis and transition, which in turn shaped the course of colonial encounters throughout the century. 4 F. Braudel, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II, trans. S. Reynolds, 2 vols (London, 1966). Fernand Braudel (1902–85) was a great oceanic historian, though known primarily as a leading light of the French Annales School of historical writing. The longue durée would be the expression denoting their distinctive approach to the study of history: historical events or movements in politics, economics, and society yield particular consequences in the short to medium term, but the seasonal cycles and structural crises of the shorter time-scale are regulated over the long term by underlying structures or forces of geography, climate, and culture. All but permanent or perennial in nature, these larger structures or forces predispose particular communities to char- acteristic patterns of thought and action, thereby shaping their identities and destinies in the long run. 5 K. N. Chaudhuri, Asia before Europe: Economy and Civilization of the Indian Ocean from the Rise of Islam to 1750 (Cambridge, 1990), pp. 10–41, 147–8; cf. R. Kaplan, Monsoon: The Indian Ocean and the Future of American Power (New York, 2010). While occasional reference will be made to what some scholars and analysts have defined as the ‘greater’ Indian Ocean, extending further eastward across the South China Sea, this book focuses on the ‘lesser’ Indian Ocean, encom- passing East Africa, the Gulf region, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. 6 See J. R. V. Prescott, Political Frontiers and Political Boundaries (London, 1987). In defining ‘borders’ for the modern world, Prescott makes a clear distinction between ‘frontiers’ and ‘boundaries’, in which the indistinct contours of frontier spaces have given way to distinct boundary lines, while ‘borderland’ refers to the transitional zone within which a border lies. From my study of the Indian Ocean ‘periphery’, this was at best an uneven process of transition, occurring at different times in different places. Such terms are therefore used more or less interchange- ably throughout this book.

CONVERSING WITH THE COSMOS 102000 Linda L. Beeman This paper focu ses on the silk tapestry headcloths woven by Tausug peoples from the Philippine Su lu Archipelago. Called pis siyabet, they captured my attention because they diverge so wildly from the cotton or abaca warp ikat weaving one associates with indigenous peoples from the Philippines and Indonesia. Their material, structure, motif and color fly in the face of local tradition. The dense complexity created by their interlocking square, triangle and diamond motifs suggests cosmic mazes - treasure maps to the unconscious. Pis puzzle us and compel our imaginations. Some history is in order. The Philippine Archipelago was fi rst peopled during the Pleistocene when it was connected by land bridges with the Southeast Asia main land. What became the Sulus offered a wann climate, access to water trade, fertile volcanic soils.

  • Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities
    Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities Charn Panarut A thesis submitted in fulfilment of The requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Social Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 Statement of Authorship This dissertation is the copyrighted work of the author, Charn Panarut, and the University of Sydney. This thesis has not been previously submitted for any degree or other objectives. I certify that this thesis contains no documents previously written or published by anyone except where due reference is referenced in the dissertation itself. i Abstract This thesis is a contribution to two bodies of scholarship: first, the historical understanding of the modernisation process in Siam, and in particular the role of sport in the gradual pacification of violent forms of behaviour; second, one of the central bodies of scholarship used to analyse sport sociologically, the work of Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning on sport and the civilising process. Previous studies of the emergence of a more civilised form of behaviour in modern Siam highlight the imitation of Western civilised conducts in political and sporting contexts, largely overlooking the continued role of violence in this change in Siamese behaviour from the pre- modern to modern periods. This thesis examines the historical evidence which shows that, from around the 1900s, Siamese elites engaged in deliberate projects to civilise prevalent non-elites’ aggressive conducts. This in turn has implications for the Eliasian understanding of sports and civilising process, which emphasises their unplanned development alongside political and economic changes in Europe, at the expense of grasping the deliberate interventions of the Siamese elites.

    UNIWERSYTET ZIELONOGÓRSKI IN GREMIUM 11/2017 Studia nad Historią, Kulturą i Polityką ISSN 1899-2722 ■ s. 67-92 Nguyen Tien Dung* THE SIAMESE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSES TO WESTERN FORCES AT THE TIME OF KING MONGKUT (1851-1868) Amidst the strong wave of Western colonialist invasion in the East in the second half the 19th century, Siam was the only political entity in Southeast Asia which managed to avoid colonization. It is noteworthy that most Vietnamese and international scholars, while accounting for the success of Siam in the protection of its security and independ- ence, believe that Siam was able to maintain its sovereignty because it was located in a “buffer zone” between British and French forces and took advantage of conflicts and fights for influence between imperialist countries on the Sino-Indian peninsula1. * The author is now a Lecturer at Faculty of Cultural Studies, Hanoi University of Culture (HUC) and also a Doctoral candidate at Faculty of History, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH), Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU).

  • Case Concerning Sovereignty Over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan
    INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN OBSERVATIONS OF MALAYSIA ON THE APPLICATION FOR PERMISSION TO INTERVENE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 2 MAY 2001 CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN (INDONESIA/MALAYSIA) Written Observations of Malaysia on the Application for permission to intervene by the Government of the Republic of the Phiiippines Introduction 1. These written observations are made by Malaysia in response to the Registrar's letter of 14 March 2001. 2. To summarize, Malaysia categorically rejects any attempt of the Philippines to concern itself with a territorial dispute involving two small islands off the coast of Sabah (formerly North Bomeo). The subject of the dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia is not Malaysia's sovereignty over the State of Sabah (which sovereignty Indonesia explicitly accepts and recognises). It is solely the question of title to two small islands off Semporna, Malaysia. Indonesia's claim is based on an interpretation of Article TV of the Convention of 1891 between Great Britain and the Netherlands. Spain had previously expressly recognised British title over the territory which was the subject of the 1891 Convention, by Article IJJ of the Protocol of 1885.' The Philippines can have no greater rights than Spain had. The interpretation of the 1891 Convention is thus a matter exclusively between Indonesia and Malaysia, in which the Philippines can have no legal interest.
