	Southeast Asia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Southeast Asia lies on the intersection of geological plates, with heavy seismic and volcanic activity.
		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." Tiger refers to the rapid growth of these economies.
		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.

		In Asia, statehood has often been achieved or imposed by former colonial rulers before national identity has been forged, resulting in situations where the only binding factor in a country is its common external enemy.
		While Asia has a number of multilateral security bodies, most are still in their infancy when it comes to addressing active conflicts and security crises.
		The code of conduct for these organizations, based on the principles of non-interference and state sovereignty, has also allowed for wealthy and stable states to coexist with poverty-stricken and conflict-ridden states and led to the escalation of internal instabilities into regional crises.

	UCLA Asia Institute: The Southeast of Asian Languages and Cultures
		Before colonial geography imposed its ordering of continents, and before the US fought a war through the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, earlier conquests, trade and migration already constituted this region as a meeting place of diverse peoples, languages, religions, and ways of life.
		Southeast Asian language instruction wandered through various departmental homes before settling in the hospitable environment of East Asian Languages and Cultures in 1999 as part of the division of South and Southeast Asian Languages and Cultures (SSEALC).
		It is fitting that the study of Southeast Asian languages and cultures now thrives in a reconfigured "gateway" between two continents across the Pacific.
