Summary

Chapter 2 is concerned with how Japan administered and effected social control over Southeast Asia’s six main countries of Burma, Thailand (Siam), Malaya (including the Straits Settlements of Singapore, Penang and Malacca), Indonesia (Netherlands India), Indochina (the five French administrative districts of Tonkin in the north, Annam in the centre, and Cochinchina in the south, along with Laos and Cambodia) and the Philippines. It is argued that this depended on a combination of Japanese co-option of elites, terror and Southeast Asians’ sense of self-preservation.
