Book excerpt: Entre l'Inde et la Chine, vers l'Est et vers le Sud, existe un ensemble de péninsules et d'archipels, d'îles, d'isthmes et de détroits, de cités et d'empires. C'est l'« angle de l'Asie » que l'on nomme souvent l'Asie du Sud-Est. Des États, vastes ou lilliputiens, s'y sont formés ou dissous au cours des deux derniers millénaires. Des réseaux, des espaces de relations s'y imbriquent dans des logiques de construction territoriale mises en oeuvre bien avant les colonisations du XIXe siècle et les cinquante dernières années de modernisation et de croissance inégales. L'auteur insiste sur la continuité remarquable des structures spatiales, matrices des aménagements actuels, pour nous donner à voir le réel au-delà des contingences. Il va au-delà des paysages et des civilisations et propose une nouvelle étape de compréhension globale du mouvement qui emporte, de manière très inégale, les pays et espaces qui se situent entre l'Inde et la Chine, le Japon et l'Australie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hier le Japon, aujourd’hui la Chine, demain l’Inde : les géants asiatiques prennent une place de plus en plus importante dans le monde. Mais ce monde, comment le voient-ils ? comment leurs cultures l’ont-elles imaginé au long de l’histoire, et comment y conçoivent-ils leur place aujourd’hui ? Quelles relations ont-ils voulu - ou non - avoir avoir avec lui ? Comment ont-ils été marqués par l’impérialisme occidental ? A quel prix s’en sont-ils libérés ? Et comment conçoivent-ils leur rôle dans la gouvernance mondiale d’aujourd’hui ? Habitués à placer l’Occident au centre du monde, nous avons du mal à concevoir que, aux yeux des grandes civilisations d’Asie, c’est nous qui sommes les «barbares», les «autres». Ce livre nous invite à nous placer du point de vue de ces Asiatiques que nous appréhendons encore trop souvent à travers des stéréotypes exotiques, voire péjoratifs. Il nous permettra de voir à travers leurs yeux ce monde dont l’ordre - et donc notre propre avenir - dépendra de plus en plus de ce qu’ils veulent en faire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis près de vingt ans, l’Inde a changé d’image : les réformes économiques engagées à compter de 1991 et les essais nucléaires de 1998 ont témoigné de sa volonté de s’affirmer comme une puissance émergente. Elle est désormais reconnue comme telle, y compris par la Chine. Après la longue césure de la colonisation et de la guerre froide, le retour de l’Inde dans un continent en mouvement dessine une nouvelle Asie, plus vaste, plus peuplée, plus complexe que la seule Asie orientale. Cette évolution fait naître de nouveaux équilibres sur un échiquier où jouent, entre autres acteurs, l’Inde, la Chine, le Japon, les États-Unis, et les voisins de l’Inde, ceux de l’Asie du Sud comme ceux du « voisinage étendu » qui court du Moyen-Orient à l’Asie du Sud-Est. Ce « grand jeu » contribue à redessiner peu à peu un nouvel ordre mondial, dans lequel les puissances dominantes occidentales doivent apprendre à redéfinir leurs relations avec une Asie nouvelle. En trois étapes qui analysent la « présence du passé », le nouvel échiquier géopolitique et les enjeux économiques de l’Asie en mouvement, cet ouvrage réunissant historiens, économistes et géopolitologues, spécialistes de l’Inde, mais aussi de la Chine, du Japon et de l’Asie du Sud-Est, éclaire de façon inédite les voies multiples par lesquelles l’émergence du pôle indien dynamise l’ensemble de l’Asie et, au-delà, appelle à repenser les relations Nord-Sud. Avec les contributions de Bruno Dagens, Jean-François Huchet, Claude Markovits, Claude Meyer, Jean-Luc Racine, JoelRuet, Isabelle Saint-Mézard.

Download or read book Regionalization of the World written by Pierre Beckouche and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the world map, macro-regions or global regions have gradually emerged, with varying degrees of success and following different trajectories. The authors of this book attempt to determine whether, within the context of globalization, these macro-regions have become an additional level in the spatial deployment of numerous actors, and whether they have come to stand between the national and global levels. This question has arisen because the increasing scales of trade, environmental problems, migration routes, energy distribution, the construction of major infrastructures etc. transcend national boundaries and are leading states to implement macro-regional cooperation. The authors ask whether these large regional groupings are becoming genuine territories and are the fruit of in-depth regional integration – economic, institutional, legal, normative, political, cultural and in terms of identity. If so, these global regions would therefore become referents that make sense and take root in social representations.

Book excerpt: "From the Enlightenment to the present day, and using a variety of case studies from all the continents, the authors show us how our ideas of and about mountains have changed with the times and how a wide range of policies, from border delineation to forestry as well as nature protection and social programs, have been shaped according to them.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Highland Asia written by Jelle J.P. Wouters and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Highland Asia is the first comprehensive and critical overview of the ethnographic and anthropological work in Highland Asia over the past half a century. Opening up a grand new space for critical engagement, the handbook presents Highland Asia as a world-region that cuts across the traditional divides inherited from colonial and Cold War area divisions - the Indian Subcontinent/South Asia, Southeast Asia, China/East Asia, and Central Asia. Thirty-two chapters assess the history of research, identify ethnographic trends, and evaluate a range of analytical themes that developed in particular settings of Highland Asia. They cover varied landscapes and communities, from Kyrgyzstan to India, from Bhutan to Vietnam and bring local voices and narratives relating trade and tribute, ritual and resistance, pilgrimage and prophecy, modernity and marginalization, capital and cosmos to the fore. The handbook shows that for millennia, Highland Asians have connected far-flung regions through movements of peoples, goods and ideas, and at all times have been the enactors, repositories, and mediators of world-historical processes. Taken together, the contributors and chapters subvert dominant lowland narratives by privileging primarily highland vantages that reveal Highland Asia as an ecumune and prism that refracts and generates global history, social theory, and human imagination. In the currently unfolding Asian Century, this compels us to reorient and re-envision Highland Asia, in ethnography, in theory, and in the connections between this world-region, made of hills, highlands and mountains, and a planetary context. The handbook reveals both regional commonalities and diversities, generalities and specificities, and a broad orientation to key themes in the region. An indispensable reference work, this handbook fills a significant gap in the literature and will be of interest to academics, researchers and students interested in Highland Asia, Zomia Studies, Anthropology, Comparative Politics, Conceptual History and Sociology, Southeast Asian Studies, Central Asian Studies and South Asian Studies as well as Asian Studies in general.

Download or read book A History of Borno written by Vincent Hiribarren and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borno (in northeast Nigeria) is notorious today as the home of an Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram, whose insurgency is a major security threat, but it was once the heartland of the Kanuri-speaking royal empire of Kanem-Borno, renowned throughout Africa and beyond, which in its later incarnation, the Bornu Empire, lasted from 1380 to 1893. This book offers the reader the first modern history of Borno, drawing upon sources in London, Berlin, Paris, Kaduna and Maiduguri and recently released 'migrated archives'. As its longevity suggests, what is particularly remarkable about Borno is the permanence of its boundaries-its territorial integrity-which dates back centuries, and the political and social identities that such borders framed in the minds of its inhabitants.

Download or read book Rural Areas Between Regional Needs and Global Challenges written by Walter Leimgruber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date account of the many processes shaping and transforming rural space in various parts of the world. The various case studies focus on the multi-functionality of the rural world and the driving forces behind it. The book demonstrates that rural areas are no longer simply characterized by an agricultural economy, and instead accommodate multiple complementary activities. It also touches upon two major changes that have taken place. The first is the process of rurbanization, which has led to the clear distinction between town and countryside becoming blurred: urban traits have penetrated rural areas, and rural traits have invaded towns. The second change is that rural areas are increasingly seen as multi-functional, providers not only of food and other natural resources but also locations for the generation of renewable energy (wind farms, solar farms, biogas) and regions for the preservation of biodiversity. These transformations have resulted in a new understanding and self-image of rural areas and their populations.

Download or read book Imperial Borderlands written by Marie de Rugy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a connected history of South-East Asian borderlands, drawing on late nineteenth-century British and French geographical policies and practice. It focuses on the ‘scramble’ in Asia, when, in 1885, the British Raj incorporated Upper Burma and the French created a Protectorate in Annam-Tonkin, the Northern part of present-day Vietnam. Fought over by the imperial states and neighbouring nations, the frontier zones were fashioned and represented not only by the two European powers, but also by the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Siam, and the local populations. The counterpoint between the discourses produced and the cartographical practices on the ground, in the longue durée, reveals the interacting processes of territory-building in all their unpredictability. This book is the updated version of the author’s Aux confins des empires. Cartes et constructions territoriales dans le nord de la péninsule indochinoise (1885–1914) (Paris: Éditions de la Sorbonne, 2018). It is translated by Saskia Brown, an experienced academic translator from French in the humanities and social sciences.

Download or read book Managing Frontiers in Qing China written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Managing Frontiers in Qing China, historians and anthropologists explore China's imperial expansion in Inner Asia, focusing on early Qing empire-building in Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and beyond – Central Asian perspectives and comparisons to Russia's Asian empire are included. Taking an institutional-historical and historical-anthropological approach, the essays engage with two Qing agencies well-known for their governance of non-Han groups: the Lifanyuan and Libu. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the Lifanyuan and Libu, revising and assessing the state of affairs in the under-researched field of these two institutions. The contributors explore the imperial policies towards and the shifting classifications of minority groups in the Qing Empire, explicitly pairing and comparing the Lifanyuan and Libu as in some sense cognate agencies. This text offers insight into how China's past has continued to inform its modern policies, as well as the geopolitical make-up of East Asia and beyond. Contributors include: Uradyn E. Bulag, Chia Ning, Pamela Kyle Crossley, Nicola DiCosmo, Dorothea Heuschert-Laage, Laura Hostetler, Fabienne Jagou, Mei-hua Lan, Dittmar Schorkowitz, Song Tong, Michael Weiers,Ye Baichuan, Yuan Jian, Zhang Yongjiang.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants suivant un programme d’études en langue ou commerce japonais, ou encore au lecteur averti intéressé par l’Histoire et l’Economie du Japon. Le Japon de 2014 se trouve à la croisée de nombreux défis de taille, qui sont abordés succinctement en fin de livre. Trois ans après le « tsunami » meurtrier de la région de « Tohoku », où en est le processus de reconstruction ? Le nucléaire va-t-il être remplacé par les Energies Renouvelables ? Comment le pays va-t-il faire face aux défis démographiques ? Le Japon est-il toujours un pays Innovateur ? En préparant un cours, l’auteur s’est aperçu qu’il y avait, surtout en langue anglaise, assez bien de livres sur l’Histoire et l'Economie du Japon en général, surtout après 1945, mais très... Plus > peu de livres récents se concentrant sur une lecture (purement) économique de l’Histoire entière du Japon. Malheureusement, il y a encore moins de choix en langue française. D’où, sans doute, la pertinence de cet ouvrage!
