“The essays constituting this volume offer fresh perspectives on Asian maritime trade, which may urge both current and historical debates forward. One of the most valuable contributions of the volume towards global and Asian economic history is its chronology … . opens the field for a wider study of multiple historical interactions that have helped form the Asian maritime economy up to the present day.” (Wim De Winter, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 90 (1), December, 2017)
