Civilizations in Embrace : The Spread of Ideas and the Transformation of Power : India and Southeast Asia in the Classical Age / Amitav Acharya Singapore: ISEAS Publishing, 2013 xv. 88p. ; 24cm. ISBN-13: Southeast Asia Civilization Indic influences 2. Southeast Asia Relations India 3. India Relations Southeast Asia 4. Southeast Asia Politics and government $32.90 / HB 338 gm. This study revisits one of the most extensive examples of the spread of ideas in the history of civilization: the diffusion of Indian religious and political ideas to Southeast Asia before the advent of Islam and European colonialism. Hindu and Buddhist concepts and symbols of kingship and statecraft helped to legitimize Southeast Asian rulers, and transform the political institutions and authority of Southeast Asia. But the process of this diffusion was not accompanied by imperialism, political hegemony, or colonization as conventionally understood. This book investigates different explanations of the spread of Indian ideas offered by scholars, including why and how it occurred and what were its key political and institutional outcomes. It challenges the view that strategic competition is a recurring phenomenon when civilizations encounter each other. A Clean Breast / Theresa Tan Singapore: Write Editions, p. ; 20cm.
