Locating Southeast Asia
de Kratoska, Paul H., Henk Schulte Nordholt
"Questions about the identity of Southeast Asia are implicitly questions about whether Southeast Asia is or can be a nation writ large. For people who live in the region, the answer is 'no.' The concept of Southeast Asia evolved from the need of Europe, America and Japan to deal collectively with a set of territories and peoples that felt no particular identification with one another."--Locating Southeast Asia.
