SUMMARY:The scope of diplomacy in pre-nineteenth century insular Southeast Asia: from treaty making to land bargaining (1)
LOCATION:Room 0.16
DESCRIPTION:In recent years the study of historical diplomatic relations ha
 s been revitalized. Inspired by actor-based and discourse critical approach
 es, historians, anthropologists, and international relations scholars have 
 expanded the study of Southeast Asian inter-polity relations, highlighting 
 the importance of kinship, opportunist alliances linked to colonial power d
 ynamics, local religious concerns, and flexible ad-hoc strategies of gift-g
 iving. From the sixteenth century onwards, negotiation processes using trad
 itional, imported and hybrid practices alike left a lasting imprint on the 
 socio-economic realities on the ground. Consequently, a versatile set of fo
 reign policies, diplomatic practices including soft power, conflict managem
 ent and knowledge gathering, and spatial relations developed in maritime As
 ia. The aim of this panel is to discuss the ‘political cultures’ implied by
  these usages. It intends to bring to a better understanding and a better d
 efinition of the relationships between Europeans and Southeast Asian rulers
 , often described along the simple dichotomy of superiority versus inferior
 ity. Instead of domination, which already set the mode of interpretation, t
 he panel proposes the use of negotiation and conciliation as a frame of ana
 lysis to consider the versatility of the relation, while at the same time b
 eing attuned to the significance of unequal power relations and coercive pr
 actices, such as ‘gunboat diplomacy’. Discussing the concepts of power, aut
 hority and sovereignty, this panel will focus on uncovering the implication
  of words and acts in diplomatic and trading relations between Southeast As
 ian rulers and their counterparts, to bring new lights on Euro-Asian encoun
 ters and potentially reshape our understanding of its nature.
