Geoculture and Its Social Construction

A Political-Sociological Study of Religion and Ethnicity in Southeast Asia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Geoculture, geopolitics and geoeconomics are considered three battlefields that are influencing the order of global politics, economy, and culture, as well as the configuration of the world system. Religion and ethnicity form what might be called the "cultural double helix" of a geocultural entity, shaping cultures and international systems in ways that transcend time and national borders. Understanding this dynamics is critically important to efforts to meet new challenges and seize on new opportunities. This volume applies this analytical framework to Southeast Asia and neighboring regions.
