China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States
Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

“Malay Pirate” in Early Modern European Thought
humanities Article The Making of the “Malay Pirate” in Early Modern European Thought Stefan Eklöf Amirell Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, Linnaeus University, SE-351 95 Växjö, Sweden; [email protected] Received: 20 May 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: This article traces the long historical background of the nineteenth-century European notion of the Malay as a human “race” with an inherent addiction to piracy. For most of the early modern period, European observers of the Malay Archipelago associated the Malays with the people and diaspora of the Sultanate of Melaka, who were seen as commercially and culturally accomplished. This image changed in the course of the eighteenth century. First, the European understanding of the Malay was expanded to encompass most of the indigenous population of maritime Southeast Asia. Second, more negative assessments gained inﬂuence after the mid-eighteenth century, and the Malays were increasingly associated with piracy, treachery, and rapaciousness. In part, the change was due to the rise in maritime raiding on the part of certain indigenous seafaring peoples of Southeast Asia combined with increasing European commercial interests in Southeast Asia, but it was also part of a generally more negative view in Europe of non-settled and non-agricultural populations. This development preceded the notion of the Malays as one of humanity’s principle races, which emerged toward the end of the eighteenth century. The idea that Malays were natural pirates also paved the way for several brutal colonial anti-piracy campaigns in the Malay Archipelago during the nineteenth century.

The Malay Archipelago is the vast chain of islands stretching eastward from Sumatra for more than 6,000 kilometres. Most of it now falls within the sovereignties of Malaysia and Indonesia. In Wallace’s time, it was a world apart, a great Milky Way of land masses and seas and straits, little explored by Europeans, sparsely populated by peoples of diverse cul- tures, and harbouring countless species of unknown plant and animal in dense tropical forests.

In 1885, Josiah Strong (of the Evangelical Alliance for the United States) predicted that “the world [will] enter upon a new stage of its history—the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled.” “Strengthened in the United States,” averred Strong, “this powerful race will move down upon Central and South America, out upon the islands of the sea, over upon Africa and beyond.”1 Less than two decades after Strong advanced this prediction, W. E. B. Du Bois advanced a geographically similar vision of racial conflict in his 1903 The Souls of Black Folk. Prefacing a discussion of the US Civil War and Reconstruction, Du Bois famously wrote, “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.”2 The two men’s visions were clearly antithetical in terms of their racial and imperial politics.

Work in this document is based upon the standards outlined in the Massachusetts History and Social Science Framework, August 2003. History and Social Studies by Grade Level Grade 7 Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (August 2003) Overarching Theme The study of world geography includes 5 majors themes: location, place, human interaction with the environment, movement, and regions. Grade Seven Focus: Foundations of Geography Concepts and Skills to be addressed: Students will be able to identify and interpret different kinds of maps, charts, graphs. They will use geographic and demographic terms correctly and use an atlas. They will understand what a nation is and the different international organizations. They will understand basic economic concepts such as supply and demand, economic systems, trade and the effect of these on the standard of living. Big Idea: A nation’s standard of living is impacted by its economic system, its government and geographical characteristics. Essential Questions: In what ways does location affect way of life? What qualities make a nation and how do nations interact? How does the economic system affect standard of living? By the end of SEVENTH Grade, students should be able to answer the Essential Questions above and apply knowledge and concepts attained to be able to: History and Geography • Use map and globe skills learned in pre-kindergarten to grade five to interpret different kinds of projections, as well as topographic, landform, political, population, and climate maps.
