As a result\, large areas that had previously been a utonomous\nand\, to a large degree\, isolated from the emerging global mar ket\nwere integrated into the state system and the capitalist economy.\nTh is integrative process involved the deployment of violence by\nstates such as Egypt and Ethiopia\, as well as Malay states. The\nviolence took vario us forms\, from cattle raids to outright\nconquest\, with the common featu re being that they led to the\ndestruction of the economic bases of the in digenous societies being\ntargeted\, and to a subjection of their populati on to the expanding\nstate.\nUsing the travelogues of the Russian explorer s Wilhelm (Vasily)\nJunker\, Alexander Bulatovich and Nikolai Miklouho-Mac lay\, this\npaper examines the process of state expansion in east-central \nAfrica and South-East Asia in this period. Apart from an overview\nof th e socioeconomic structures underpinning the societies of the\nconquerors a nd the conquered\, this paper also seeks to elucidate\nthe factors that ca used and sustained the expansionist drives\, and\nwhat brought them a meas ure of success.\n \nAbout the Speaker\nRashed Chowdhury is a PhD candidate in the Department of History\nand Classical Studies\, 91ºÚÁÏÍø\nUniversity. \n DTSTART:20120308T210000Z DTEND:20120308T230000Z LOCATION:Peterson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E6\, 3460 rue McTavish SUMMARY:The Expanding State in the Indian Ocean World in the Late Nineteent h Century URL:/channels/event/expanding-state-indian-ocean-world -late-nineteenth-century-215027 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
