by Derek Heng
Sino-Malay Trade and Diplomacy from the Tenth through the Fourteenth Century
Sino-Malay Trade and Diplomacy from the Tenth through the Fourteenth Century

Insightful exploration of historical Sino-Malay relations.

If you're intrigued by the grand tapestry of historical international relations, particularly between China and Southeast Asia, "Sino-Malay Trade and Diplomacy from the Tenth Through the Fourteenth Century" offers a comprehensive dive into this rich period. Derek Heng's meticulous research combines various sources to paint a dual-narrative picture that's especially valuable if you love deepening your understanding of how economics and foreign policy intertwine with culture and geography.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

China has been an important player in the international economy for two thousand years and has historically exerted enormous influence over the development and nature of political and economic affairs in the regions beyond its borders, especially its neighbors. "Sino-Malay Trade and Diplomacy from the Tenth through the Fourteenth Century" examines how changes in foreign policy and economic perspectives of the Chinese court affected diplomatic intercourse as well as the fundamental nature of economic interaction between China and the Malay region, a subregion of Southeast Asia centered on the Strait of Malacca. This study's uniqueness and value lie in its integration of archaeological, epigraphic, and textual data from both China and Southeast Asia to provide a rich, multilayered picture of Sino-Southeast Asian relations in the premodern era. Derek Heng approaches the topic from both the Southeast Asian and Chinese perspectives, affording a dual narrative otherwise unavailable in the current body of Southeast Asian and China studies literature.
