Islam, Trade and Politics Across the Indian Ocean is a research project funded by the British Academy over the period 2009–2012 and administered by the Association of South-East Asian Studies in the United Kingdom (ASEASUK) and the British Institute at Ankara(BIAA). The project is directed by Dr Andrew Peacock (BIAA and St. Andrews University) and Dr Annabel Gallop (ASEASUK and British Academy).
The aim of the project is to investigate links between the lands of the
Ottoman Empire and early Republican Turkey on the one hand and the
Muslim peoples of South East Asia on the other over the sixteenth to
twentieth centuries. The project is interested in all forms of
interaction between these two regions, political, religious, literary,
commercial and cultural, including exchanges and mutual influences in
material culture. The project has conducted research on evidence for
these links, and has offered small grants to researchers of all
nationalities working on relevant themes.
At the conclusion of the project, an International Workshop From Anatolia to Aceh: Ottomans, Turks and Southeast Asia was
held in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, 11–12 January 2012, in association with
the International Centre for Aceh and Indian Ocean Studies (ICAIOS) and
the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Ar-Raniry. The results of the
project and workshop are presented in a travelling photographic
exhibition, launched in London in 2012 in association with the British Library;
which will travel to venues throughout the UK during 2012–2013. We also
plan to publish two books: an edited collection of papers from the
International Workshop, and a volume of selected documents in Ottoman
Turkish, Arabic and Southeast Asian languages.
