Towards an environmental history of the eastern Red River Delta, Vietnam, c.900–1400
This article focuses on the eastern region of the Red River Delta, Vietnam, between the tenth and sixteenth centuries. This area was an important centre of economic and population growth in Đại Việt in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and nurtured Đại Việt's sophisticated and renowned ceramics industry, hosted leading schools of Vietnamese Buddhism and bred a rising class of scholars and bureaucrats. The region's rapid rise as an economic…

Cochinchinese Coin Casting and Circulating in Eighteenth-Century Southeast Asia
While much has been written about Chinese business networks in modern Southeast Asia, there has been little discussion about the coins used in the various trade ports and their origins. Moreover, when they have been studied, coin casting and circulating have been examined mostly within specific local contexts, with only vague references to China and the Chinese.1 In this essay I explore the links of the coin business between eighteenthcentury Coc…
A View from the Sea: Perspectives on the Northern and Central Vietnamese Coast
This article challenges the perceived image of ‘traditional’ Vietnam by viewing the polity's early history from the sea. A trading zone existed in the Gulf of Tonkin area, stretching to Hainan Island and northern Champa by sea, and overland to Yunnan and Laos. Commerce and interactions of peoples in this area played a crucial part in state formation for Vietnam
An Alternative Vietnam? The Nguyen Kingdom in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
The seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Nguyen kingdom was known as Dang Trong to Vietnamese, and Cochinchina by the Westerners. In just 200 years it won control over three-fifths of the territory in modern Vietnam. The experiences of this expanding southern frontier area seem to suggest an image of Vietnam that is very different from the north, opening a door to an alternative world in which diversity was tolerated, and indeed exploited, for Vie…
Nguyen Cochinchina: Southern Vietnam in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
In this historical reassessment of southern Vietnam and its distinct culture, Li Tana illuminates the resourceful qualities of the Dong Trong pioneers, develops a meticulous analysis of the Nguyen trade and taxation systems, and, in the process, redefines the chief cause of the Tay Son rebellion. Li Tana's study focuses on the socio-economics of Nguyen Cochinchina, such as: the role of foreign merchants, the region's trading economy, demographic …
Peasants on the Move: Rural-Urban Migration in the Hanoi Region
Almost all developing countries are plagued by the problem of peasants crowding into cities in search of a better life. For scholars of and visitors to Vietnam, it is increasingly clear that the problem has also arrived in this recently freed socialist economy. Is it going to get worse before it gets better? What is officialdom’s response to the social disruptions and friction it causes? This ISEAS study completed at the end of 1993 is one of a f…
Southern Vietman Under the Nguyen: Documents on the Economic History of Cochinchina (Dang Trong), 1602-1777
From about 1600 untill the Tay Son rebellion of the 1770s, there were two Vietnamese states. The southern one, with its centre around modern Hue and its southern frontier ever expanding into Cambodian territory in the Mekong delta, was the more dynamic, both economically cand military. Occupying as it did the strategic, habour studded coast along which most shipping passed between China and all points south and west, it was necessarily involved i…
