Opis

Explores the notion that a distinctive Asia-Pacific regional power bloc is developing. This study looks at the complex interplay between regional, global and national forces that have transformed the Asia-Pacific area into one of the most vibrant and economically successful regions in the world. Historical narratives alongside geopolitical and geoeconomic perspectives are deployed to examine the shifting pattern of power relations and security structures across the region. Key issues addressed include: the primary security problems of the region and how they are being resolved; and the dynamic growth of the region, particularly the rise of China, and how it may pose a challenge to existing structures of world order.

Recenzje

'Combining a broad historical and theoretical framework with country-specific and issue-specific empirical studies; this multi-authored volume is by far the best, most stimulating contribution to our thinking about the Asia-Pacific challenge in the post-Cold War era. It offers a prime text for courses in international relations in general and east Asian or Asia-Pacific international relations in particular' - Samuel S Kim, East Asian Institute, Columbia University
