Argues that China's roots are in Pacific Asia, and its response to regional challenges will ultimately determine its global prospects.

Recenzje

'How will the asymmetric rivalry between global US and regional China play out in a multinodal world shaped by local agency? In Recentering Pacific Asia, Womack historicizes the centrality of Pacific Asia in analytical depth and challenges us to rethink the future of world order by taking seriously the asymmetric parity power dynamics in 'China's region.' Insightful, provocative, and timely, it compels us to think differently about Pacific Asia as central to global order transition.' Yongjin Zhang, Professor of International Politics, University of Bristol
