The main themes centre on theories of mobility, transfer, trade, and networks, to explore how contact and interaction along various routes over time are reflected in the archaeological record. It will encourage students to adopt cross- regional and cross-disciplinary approaches, and to take a critical attitude towards theoretical paradigms and narratives that have influenced the study of the Silk Roads over the past century. This module provides a comparative overview of key debates in the archaeology of Silk Roads, with a particular focus on how and why they matter today. It will emphasise the different regional trajectories of Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Western, Central, Southern and Eastern Asia. This handbook outlines the aims and objectives, structure and content of the module. It is also available on the Institute web-site. 1.2 Timetable: Week-by-week summary This module runs over one term, although assessed work is scheduled for submission in the third term.

  • Chapter 16: India and the Indian Ocean Basin During the Postclassical Period There Emerged in India No Long-Lasting Imperial
    Chapter 16: India and the Indian Ocean Basin During the postclassical period there emerged in India no long‐lasting imperial authority, as there were in China and the Islamic world. Regional kingdoms were the norm. Nevertheless, Indian society exerted a profound influence on the cultures of south and southeast Asia. Through the extensive trade networks of the Indian Ocean basin, Indian forms of political organization, religion, and economic practices spread throughout the region. Several developments in India during this era gradually spread throughout the larger culture zone. • Dramatic agricultural growth fueled population growth and urbanization. These phenomena, combined with specialized industrial production and trade, resulted in unprecedented economic growth for the region. • Indiaʹs central position in the Indian Ocean basin resulted in it becoming a major clearinghouse for products of the voluminous maritime trade network that encompassed east Africa, Arabia, Persia, southeast Asia, and Malaysia as well as the entire Indian subcontinent. • Islam originally appeared in India through a variety of conduits, and it eventually became the primary religion of one quarter of the population. From India, Islam, along with Hinduism and Buddhism, spread to southeast Asia and the nearby islands. THE CHAPTER IN PERSPECTIVE India, just as did Greece, Rome, Constantinople, and China, played an influential role in shaping neighboring societies, in this case south and Southeast Asia. The great difference between the situation in India and that of the other states was that no Indian state would develop to rival the political authority of the Tang or Roman states. Nevertheless, India’s distinctive political, cultural, and religious traditions continued to evolve and influence its neighbors.

  • Working Paper Series
    東南亞研究中心 Southeast Asia Research Centre Frances Antoinette CRUZ Assistant Professor of German Department of European Languages University of the Philippines, Diliman Halfway between Emporia and Westphalia: Exploring Networks and Middle Powers in Asia Working Paper Series No. 179 July 2016 Halfway between Emporia and Westphalia: Exploring Networks and Middle Powers in Asia Abstract The significance of middle powers has been theorized since the Cold War in an effort to ascertain the function of states that did not satisfy the military component of great powers, yet possessed significant economic capability and regional influence to exert power in global affairs. In this essay, the role of middle powers in Asia will be discussed in the context of three concepts in international relations: firstly, the concept of middlepowermanship as seen from a network theory (Latour, 1996; Hafner-Burton, Kahler, & Montgomery, 2009); secondly, in the context of Acharya’s (2014) multiplex in Global IR; which expands the potentials of ‘middlepowermanship’ from a network perspective by incorporating various actants, and thirdly as a conduit for soft power flows, particularly in terms of a socializer (Thies, 2013) or norm diffuser. The second part of the essay will then explore various historical of networks within Asia and to what degree these models ‘fit’ modern interactions between nation states and other actors, and what roles middle powers and middlepowermanship could potentially play in these networks, in order to provide an impetus for further studies on middle powers in Asia. Frances Antoinette C. Cruz University of the Philippines Diliman 1. Middle Powers: Beyond capability? From a question of physical properties or geographical location, the definition of middle powers has been contested due to conceptual ambiguity and their relevance in the exercise of global affairs vis-à-vis great powers.

  • With an Area Within the Boundaries of 200 Hectares and the Buffer Zone of 275 Hectares
    Modifications to World Heritage Properties Annex 11 MODIFICATIONS TO WORLD HERITAGE PROPERTIES MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE BOUNDARIES OF WORLD HERITAGE PROPERTIES Documentation requested 1) Area of the property (in hectares): Historic Center of Bukhara was included in UNESCO World Heritage List (1993) with an area within the boundaries of 200 hectares and the buffer zone of 275 hectares. The minor modification of the World Heritage area consists of 216 hectares within the boundaries and 339 hectares for the buffer zone. 2) Description of the modification: Two monuments listed as part of the nomination, Samanids and Chasmai Ayub mausoleums, a historic area of traditional houses in the south east, another historic settlement in the north east and the original fort wall in the south west were not included within the boundaries nor in the buffer zones. Moreover, in some areas the boundaries are cutting parcels and not well defined. Therefore the Government of Uzbekistan decided to reconsider the boundaries and the buffer zone of the WH property. 3) Justification for the modification: The unique famous mausoleums of Samanids (IX-X) which is one of the symbols of Bukhara and Chashmai Ayub (XII-XIX) were not included neither within the nominated area nor buffer zone. In accordance with the new proposal both mausoleums were included within the boundaries and buffer zone. Moreover, the remains of the ancient walls and town gate (Talipoch gate) located in the north-west of the Historic city were not included. The new proposed boundaries and buffer zone were made in accordance with the detailed field survey conducted by the UNESCO Office in Tashkent (2013).

  • Moorings: Indian Ocean Trade and the State in East Africa
    MOORINGS: INDIAN OCEAN TRADE AND THE STATE IN EAST AFRICA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Nidhi Mahajan August 2015 © 2015 Nidhi Mahajan MOORINGS: INDIAN OCEAN TRADE AND THE STATE IN EAST AFRICA Nidhi Mahajan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 Ever since the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, especially post - 9/11 and the “War on Terror,” the Kenyan coast and the Indian Ocean beyond have become flashpoints for national and international security. The predominantly Muslim sailors, merchants, and residents of the coast, with transnational links to Somalia, the Middle East, and South Asia have increasingly become the object of suspicion. Governments and media alike assume that these longstanding transnational linkages, especially in the historical sailing vessel or dhow trade, are entwined with networks of terror. This study argues that these contemporary security concerns gesture to an anxiety over the coast’s long history of trade and social relations across the Indian Ocean and inland Africa. At the heart of these tensions are competing notions of sovereignty and territoriality, as sovereign nation-states attempt to regulate and control trades that have historically implicated polities that operated on a loose, shared, and layered notion of sovereignty and an “itinerant territoriality.” Based on over twenty-two months of archival and ethnographic research in Kenya and India, this dissertation examines state attempts to regulate Indian Ocean trade, and the manner in which participants in these trades maneuver regulatory regimes.
