The participants present their research results and discuss them in a meeting that will be held twice a year. Participants working on East and South Asia will make comments on the presented case studies of Southeast Asia, as to how they are related to or comparable to their own areas of study. Through these discussions, this project will examine how economic transformation in Southeast Asia should be understood, in connection with the transformations in East and South Asia.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"base_h5\">Description<\/h5>\n<p>It has been understood that Southeast Asian economy was incorporated in the world economy, as the colonial system was established in the 1870s. It is not clear, however, how the trade\/economic structure in the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries\u2014the so-called \u201cChinese century\u201d\u2014was connected to the world economy, and whether it meant \u201cincorporation,\u201d that is, the subjugation of Southeast Asia by the world economy. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to examine what were indeed occurring in 19th century Southeast Asian economies, and how various local societies in Southeast Asia were reacting to outside stimulation. This research project examines these issues, not only in the framework of Area Studies but also through discussions among experts of East and South Asia, and global history. By so doing the project aims to situate the transformations in 19th century Southeast Asian society in the context of economic history of Asia. In this way, this project examines Southeast Asian economy in a wider context, and by so doing it aims to contribute to the reexamination of the concept of Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p>This project also aims to explain how the 19th century Southeast Asian society maintained a certain level of autonomy while it was linked into the world economy and the colonial economy. The world economy is taken here not as the one in which only Europe and US played a central role, but as the one in which Asia played an important role in production and consumption. In this way, this project aims to connect the studies of local societies and of the economy of the wider region, and ascertain the role of Southeast Asia in the world economy.<\/p>\n<p>This project will provide several case studies, which will show how people in a local society attempted to connect themselves to outside agents, to the market, and finally to the world economy. In this manner, this project aims to explain how Southeast Asian society maintained certain autonomy while it was transforming in accordance with the shifting world economy.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table-caption\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/fy2014iv-10-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/fy2014iv-10-1.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nRaw rattan at a rattan factory in Bintulu, Sarawak<br \/>\nRattan, one of the principal exports from insular Southeast Asia in the nineteenth century, is still being exported to Asian countries, such as the Middle East, India, and China, as materials for furniture and artifact.<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/fy2014iv-10-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/fy2014iv-10-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCoconut-palm gardens in South Minahasa Prefecture, North Sulawesi Province Large-scale coconut-palm gardens, opened in nineteenth-century insular Southeast Asia, in order to obtain edible oil and a material of margarine, still exist in many places including North Sulawesi.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Leader : Ota Atsushi (Hiroshima University, Graduate School of Letters) Collaborators : Kakizaki Ichir [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"5557","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5728","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-type-iv","7":"en-US","8":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8oDLW-1uo","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5728"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7208,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728\/revisions\/7208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
