Frontmatter -- Contents -- MAPS -- TABLES & FIGURES -- PREFACE -- Contributors -- 1. Introduction: Maritime Interactions in Eastern Asia -- 2. The Periodization of Southeast Asian History, in Comparison with that of Northeast Asia -- 3. Merchants, Envoys, Brokers and Pirates: Hokkien Connections in Pre-modern Maritime Asia -- 4. An Asian Commercial Ecumene, 900–1300 -- 5. The Japanese Archipelago and Maritime Asia from the 9th to the 14th Centuries -- 6. Saltpetre Trade and Warfare in Early Modern Asia -- 7. Shaping Maritime East Asia in the 15th and 16th Centuries through Chosŏn Korea -- 8. Shipwreck Salvage and Survivors’ Repatriation Networks of the East Asian Rim in the Qing Dynasty -- 9. Wei Zhiyan and the Subversion of the Sakoku -- 10. Metal Exports and Textile Imports of Tokugawa Japan in the 17th Century: The South Asian Connection -- BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS CITED -- Index
Summary: This exemplary work of international collaboration takes a comparative approach to the histories of Northeast and Southeast Asia, with contributions from scholars from Japan, Korea and the Englishspeaking academic world. The new scholarship represented by this volume demonstrates that the vast and growing commercial interactions between the countries of eastern Asia have long historical roots. The so-called “opening” to Western trade in the mid-nineteenth century, which is typically seen as the beginning of this process, is shown to be rather the reversal of a relatively temporary phase of state consolidation in the long eighteenth century.
