| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project primarily used archival and secondary resources, while carrying out filed work in multiple countries including China, Myanmar, and India. I conducted an extensive inventory of the secondary literature including the most recent dissertations. In response to the advancements made by the recent studies, I have sought to (a) broadened the scope of inquiry, (b) analyze changes within the borderlands, especially in language and religion, and (c) present a conceptual model under which cases from Asia can be meaningfully compared. I arrived at a four-fold model of geopolitical order: zomia, mandala, empire, and nation-state. This four-fold model, I contend, can capture better the historical trajectories of borderlands in Asia.
