Sandwiched between the great indian and the great Chinese civilisations, the region known as Southeast Asia is indeed, also a great civilisation with its own distinct characteristics. Unlike its neighbours to the East and to the West, it is mainly a region of island, peninsulas and inland seas. It is culturally and linguistically as diverse as its neighbouring civilsations, but it has never experienced the binding forces of great and powerful states.
