Summary/Abstract |
China is the biggest foreign trade partner of ASEAN countries and the main donor to the development of regional infrastructure. The main trunk lines built with the help of Chinese investments in Southeast Asian countries will be linked up with important regional ports. This will make it possible to increase export cargo flows from the PRC to countries of ASEAN, the Middle East, and Africa.

Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the so far little explored animal dimension of the significant social, economic, and ecological transformations that occurred in Western Anatolia in the late Ottoman Empire. It focuses on how the use of the hybrid, one-humped “Turcoman” camel transformed the way in which trade and transport operated in the region. In light of Ottoman, Turkish, and European sources, it suggests that the camel was a visible yet often underestimated actor in the incorporation of Western Anatolia into global markets and integrating the camel as important history-shaping actor into the historical narrative allows us to better grasp the complex relationships that existed between humans, nature, and technology and to change the way we think about the Ottoman Empire.
