Sources: Size, population, and density taken from Bruce M. Russett, World H an dbook o f Political and Socia l Indicators (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1964). Figures on ethnicity are from Walker Connor, “Ethnology and the Peace of South East A sia,” World Politics, 22 (October 1969), 51-86; Richard Butwell, South east Asia T od a y —And Tomorrow, 2nd. rev. ed., (New York: Praeger, ton: Little, Brown, 1964), p. 80. Percentages will vary according to definition .of ethnic cleavage, e.g. 95 percent of Filipinos are of Malay stock, as are 95 percent of Indonesians. In Thailand the Lao minority is sometimes lumped with the Thais against the Chinese and Malays. In Nationalist China the mainlander-Taiwanese dis tinction may become more significant as time passes. In the above list ethnicity is defined loosely to include regional, language, reli gious, and racial differences.
