DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asian societies over the _longue durée_ were charac
 terised by the co-construction of technology and the shifting patterns of 
 social and political interconnection.\n\nThe same technologies used to ach
 ieve everyday\, practical goals also worked to reinforce or disrupt social
  solidarity\, define or challenge social hierarchies\, and inform relation
 s of conflict or cooperation with distant peoples.\n\nAs a destination tha
 t consistently attracted migrants\, traders\, entrepreneurs and aspiring c
 olonizers\, its characteristic forms of technological dynamism served the 
 political\, social and economic ambitions of peoples from China to the Ind
 ian Ocean world and from the Middle East to Europe. It is thus also a stor
 y of changing global interdependencies\, seen from the technological groun
 d of Southeast Asia.
