Description
Summary:"This book maps out the state of China studies in seven Southeast Asian countries from different perspectives. It looks at the history and current status of the study of China, analyses the characteristics of Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar, and what factors shaped the development and prospects of Sinology and Chinese Studies in these countries. For the first time, China experts from within and outside of this region, using a wide range of biographical, historical, bibliographical and comparative methodologies, tell the stories of how intellectuals and scholars in selected Southeast Asian countries understand, study, and research China. Their studies are providing different perspectives and discourses on China. Chapters discover and explore common factors such as the presence of sizeable ethnic Chinese communities, historical and current interactions between China and Southeast Asia, and the diverse intellectual influences in the region"--
