A MENTAL JOURNEY
Dr
Jacques Coulardeau was in Sri
Lanka
Ivan
Eve came back to France in
2009 after twelve years in Vietnam
and Laos
This
volume brings together several studies and documents, most of them unpublished
before on the general geo-political question of the restructuring of the Indian Ocean as the center of global maritime commerce.
At
first we go back to its central position as soon as Homo Sapiens emerges from Africa some 150,000 years ago.
Then
we look at the history of Sri Lanka from the arrival of Homo Sapiens, then
Buddhism, then the Chinese and later on the European colonial powers, to the
central position it is taking in maritime commerce thanks to Chinese investment
and the developing of the port of Hambantota and a few others after the end of
the LTTE terrorist period.
We
then stop on the Buddhist influence in Sri lanka
And
finally we move to the development of Container maritime Commerce in the Indian Ocean at the Global level today
And
we can then come to the concluding hypothesis that the world is being
restructured globally and by reconstructing the dominance of the Indian Ocean the way it was up to the 15th
century though in our modern context.
