The "Historical Dictionary of Ancient Southeast Asia" by associate professor John Miksic appears to offer a "comprehensive picture of the region" combining many data with great scholarship and clarity of presentation. If you want to know immediately something about a construction or a ruler of ancient Southeast Asia, this beautiful monograph certainly will help you. The dictionary also contains a bibliography so a reader can find further references to the relevant literature. The dictionary covers many data including Vietnamese history that distinguishes it from the famous monograph of Georges Coedes "The Indianized States of Southeast Asia".
A great merit of Miksic's dictionary lies in its great objectivity as the author gives to his reader in the majority of cases well-established facts and tells about discussions between scholars.
Miksic's theory of ancient Southeast Asian history can be characterized as hermeneutic in some degree as he, following Oliver Wolters, uses the term mandala to conceptualize particular features of regional political and social structures. In fact, both scholars aim to describe the societies by their own terms.
But Miksic's theory differs from Wolters' as the former believes that the concept of Indianization is still useful for scholars because the process of Indianization was a common theme in regional developments like Christianization, Renaissance, and Enlightenment in Europe. Another theme was sea.
