TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the ASEAN member states' perspectives on Soviet involve ment in the region, especially in terms of how they perceive the "Soviet threat'' and make educated guesses because relatively little is known about the goals and perceptions of their leaders.
Abstract: It is often tempting to describe Soviet-Southeast Asian relations as if a single view exists. Equally prevalent is the belief that the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries are unanimous in opposing Soviet "expansionism" in the region. While this statement may be true in general terms, differences in nuances and, at times, genuine clashes of interest drastically alter this basic scenario. This paper aims to analyse the ASEAN member states' perspectives on Soviet involve ment in the region, especially in terms of how they perceive the "Soviet threat''. As for the views of the Indochinese states, especially Vietnam, and Burma, it is only possible to make educated guesses because relatively little is known about the goals and perceptions of their leaders. But whenever the term Southeast Asia appears in the paper, it refers to all regional countries except when specific reference is made.

TL;DR: The authors explores the dialectic relationship between indigenous peoples and the transformation of the state under the aegis of globalization, and explores the strategies of resistance that indigenous peoples have employed, the impact of these strategies on the shaping of world order, and the ambiguities of state responses in this present postmodern moment.
Abstract: The focus of this chapter is the phenomenon of globalization as a contemporary manifestation of a long historical process of expansionism, in which tensions between the contested mandates of expansion and accumulation has been in constant interplay with the world’s indigenous peoples. This chapter explores the dialectic relationship between indigenous peoples and the transformation of the state under the aegis of globalization. Two key themes underpin this discussion. The first is the processes by which the early imperialist endeavour saw sovereign indigenous peoples within resource-rich lands and territories either eradicated as much as possible or recast as dependent populations within nation states. The second concerns the strategies of resistance that indigenous peoples have employed, the impact of these strategies on the shaping of world order, and the ambiguities of the state responses in this present postmodern moment.
