The Straits of Malacca : gateway or gauntlet?
"The Straits of Malacca is one of the world's busiest, yet most hazardous, shipping channels. Casting a broad net across several disciplines, particularly geography and political economy, Donald Freeman examines the significance of the Straits as a shipping channel. Rather than the more conventional historical-narrative approach, Freeman offers an innovative adoption of an interdisciplinary, analytical perspective through his use of detailed case studies of trading systems and shipping hazards."--Jacket
