I have been studying Vietnamese political history from the view point of the Early Modern World History. The early modern period is one of the most important watersheds in the history of human beings. Under the first Globalization during this period, increased mobilities of human, comodities, and information run through the globe, then they give rise to multi-ethnic, multi-national, and multi-lingal societies all around the world. A flood of silver from beyond the seas washed away the Ming dynasty in China and Europeans competed with each other in Eastern Indonesian islands that are extremely far from their home. It is also an age when seas tied various regions closely.
Former norms and standards are shaken, people try to find and build new order. From the late-16th to mid-17th centuries, this task was borne by new states or new powers with their rise and fall such as Tokugawa Shogunate, Qing empire, Zheng family in Taiwan, the later Ayuthaya, Nyaunyan Burma, Post-Angkor Cambodia, or Spanish Philippines and VOC. The later Le dynasty which is my subject is one of them. By looking at how each region and society confronted these torrents, almost all of what we are a part of now is considered to be “traditional” and arose through trial and error. My current reseach is taking place within this context.
