Abstract: The model of early state development as a process linked to irrigated agriculture and an agrarian economy has been found to be too general even for the large inland states for which it was devised. It is even less appropriate for the coastal states of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The inland state of Angkor is compared to the coastal state of Kedah to show how two different sociopolitical systems developed out of Southeast Asian precedents with long and successful histories.
