Southeast Asia as a region and a cultural area has been renowned for its unique ancient concepts of authority and statehood, such as the classical mandala-type Indianized kingdom, the dewaraja, the Malay kerajaan, or the Javanese kraton. While some of these phenomena have become less relevant over time, other notions have not only survived to this day but, having undergone a necessary adaptation, they are still present and, to a various degree, determine socio-political patterns of contemporary societies of Southeast Asia. Other models have sprung up as a consequence of the interaction of local concepts with newly arrived religions such as Islam and Christianity, the onset of colonial times, the post-colonial era, and various recent societal developments such as urbanization and industrialization, often resulting in or enhancing various socio-political phenomena including nepotism, warlordism and oligarchic practices, all on the background of starkly different political regimes
