	Asia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.
		The boundary between Asia and Europe is commonly considered to run through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea near Kara, Russia.
		Asia is the largest continent in the world by a considerable margin, and it is rich in natural resources, such as petroleum and iron.

		Southeast Asia is a 3,100 mile long chain of about 20,000 islands strung between Asia and Australia.

	MARITIME TERRORISM IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
		Southeast Asia is fast becoming the world’s maritime terrorism hot spot, because of a very high incidence of piracy and a burgeoning threat of terrorism.
		Southeast Asia is the region most prone to acts of piracy, accounting for around 50 percent of all attacks worldwide.
		Maritime terrorism in Southeast Asia is all the more serious a regional security concern because al-Qa‘ida and its operatives have a keen awareness of maritime trade and understand its significance to the global economy.

	Piracy in Asia: A Growing Barrier to Maritime Trade
		Today, acts of maritime piracy range from the classic boarding and hijacking of a merchant vessel on the high seas to the more common act of stealing from the ship while it is anchored.
		The three components of maritime industry most affected by piracy are the shippers (manufacturers that own the cargo), carriers (companies that own the vessels), and insurers of the ships and cargoes.
		These reports illustrate that although piracy is not condoned in the regional maritime security forces, the temptation to participate in it or to turn a blind eye to it in exchange for kickbacks or bribes appears to be very strong.

	Q
		As far as state-formation is concerned, the maritime region has been well served partly due to paucity of intractability of the data, and partly to the fact that most of the scholars dealing with early history of maritime regions are struggling to produce adequate description of the states of the later first millenium AD.
		The maritime trade boom of this period included greater commercial activity, volumes of trade, range of commodities and the number of regular participants were far greater and the region directly involved was far more extensive.
		It may be argued that the Southeast Asian states borrowed extensively from the broader Indian religious traditions in manner that suggests a self-conscious balancing of ideas thought to be useful for the maintenance of power in economies at once agrarian and mercantile.
