N2  - The seas and oceans around Malaysia have once again become a flashpoint of international politics and an important part of the changing world economy. Volume One of Connecting Oceans offers a rigorous analysis of Malaysia's position as a maritime nation in Southeast Asia or what has been termed the Nusantara. The collected essays offer timely conceptual, historical, and contemporary analyses of connectivity, civilization, and culture in the making and remarking of the region. They examine critical issues such as Malaysia's relations with China and its projection of a Maritime Silk Road; efforts to deepen ASEAN integration: ongoing maritime territorial disputes; and issues of national and regional governance. In doing so, the book opens up crucial questions about Malaysia's place at this crucial maritime crossroads and will appeal to all those interested in its history, political economy, and development
