ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in this book. The book shows how skillfully the British postponed the inevitable for several years, and how hard they tried to create some sort of virtual empire for at least their businessmen. The colonial powers of Southeast Asia were differently situated after the ravages of World War II. The Japanese occupation of the whole region shook the respect and fear that locals had of European power, but its own forced withdrawal from Korea and Taiwan reminded everyone that not all colonial powers were European. Similarly, the issue of Green Revolution mythmaking been a new phase in informal empire-building. The context of the rivalry between the colonial powers themselves before or during decolonization, there had to be great power relations. The decolonization did for transformation in Southeast Asia is because a restructured international architecture had transcended the heritage of decolonization.
