	Southeast Asia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While Southeast Asia is rich in flora and fauna, Southeast Asia is facing severe deforestation which causes habitat loss for various endangered species such as orangutan and the Sumatran tiger.
		Southeast Asia has experienced great economic growth since the 1980s; Singapore was one of the four original "East Asian Tigers" and in recent years Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand have often been considered a new brood of "tigers".
		The peoples of Southeast Asia were trained to carry burdens on their heads; it was a common sight to see a child balancing a small object like a bowl on her head, in distinction to her mother or aunt balancing a much larger load.

	2. Southeast Asia. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		This period witnessed an increase in the importance of what had been a persistent feature of Southeast Asian society because of the needs of the colonial powers: since many of the commercial and trading functions were in the hands of foreigners, the diaspora of Chinese and Indians into Southeast Asia grew rapidly.
		In the early decades of the 20th century the Chinese were politicized by events in mainland China which strengthened a sense of internal Chinese cohesion and distinctiveness and prevented further assimilation into the indigenous Southeast Asian cultures.
		This in turn prompted suspicion and hostility on the part of the indigenous Southeast Asian populations, with long-term ramifications for developments in the region in the face of nationalist demands for independence.

	Towards A Collective Memory of Mainland Southeast Asia Field Preservation of - 62nd IFLA General Conference
		Prior to the nineteenth century, all of the nations on mainland Southeast Asia existed as separate states of varying sizes but sharing a common complex culture of belief and practices that are rapidly fading away in the face of western values and economic development.
		Mainland Southeast Asia comprises Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and peninsular Malaysia.
		One of the precipitating factors was the Conference on the Library and Archives Preservation Needs of Southeast Asia organized by Chiang Mai University Library with the cooperation of Cornell University Library [in Chiang Mai in 1993}.

	Southeast Asia to c. 1750 (from Southeast Asia, history of) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		It consists of two dissimilar portions: a continental projection (commonly called mainland Southeast Asia) and a string of archipelagoes to the south and east of the mainland (insular Southeast Asia).
		Asia is more a geographic term than a homogeneous continent, and the use of the term to describe this vast area always carries the potential of obscuring the enormous diversity among the the regions it encompasses.
		Called Asia Minor (Lesser Asia) by the Romans, the land is the Asian part of modern Turkey.

	Geopium - Drug trade in Asia - Golden Crescent - Golden Triangle - Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy
		The first stage in the Asia commerce in drugs was probably the opium trade along the numerous and far-reaching precursors of the Silk Road and the early Chinese maritime trade that reached Africa by the first century BCE.
		Opium poppy cultivation expanded to almost everywhere in Asia, from Turkey in the Near East to Japan in the Far East, along the succession of mountain ranges that stretch across Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and China, as well as in Russia and the Central Asia republics.
		It is only at the end of the nineteenth century that the poppy-growing tribal populations began their southernmost forced migration from China toward the highlands of mainland Southeast Asia.

		Southeast Asia is often thought of those parts of Asia that are not South Asia and not East Asia.
		The perception, until recently, was that Southeast Asia was a mere backwater, a distorted reflection of the larger, dominant societies of China and India.
		We will then cover a range of issues important to understanding Southeast Asia today: nationalism and how nations are created by states; globalization; ecological transformations; and the problems of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities in the modern nation.
