| Summary/Abstract |
During roughly a thousand years, from c 800 to 1830, in each of mainland South East Asia's three principal corridors, once self-sufficient political and cultural isolates became integrated into larger, more stable systems. In basic form, chronology and dynamics, this long-term process resembled that in other parts of Eurasia's 'protected rimlands', including Europe and Japan. But despite certain pan-Eurasian features, long-term integration in the rimlands remained distinct from that in India and China, both part of the 'exposed zone' of Eurasia.
