The Making Of Northeast Asia

In stock: Very Good

"Northeast Asia, where the interests of three major nuclear powers and the
world's three largest economies converge around the unstable pivot of the
Korean peninsula, is a region rife with political-economic paradox. It
ranks today among the most dangerous areas on earth, plagued by security
problems of global importance, including nuclear and missile proliferation.
Yet in the face of long-standing historical antagonisms and geopolitical
tension, the rapidly growing region is nevertheless emerging as an
identifiable economic, political, and strategic entity in its own right,
and cooperative trilateral mechanisms among Japan, China, and Korea are
deepening. As the locus of both economic growth and political-military
uncertainty in Asia has moved further to the northeast, the need has arisen
for a book focusing analytically on prospects for collaboration within
Northeast Asia specifically, rather than generalizing solely about Asia and
the broader Asia-Pacific regional relationship. This book provides exactly
this explicit Northeast Asian focus, while also offering a more general
theory for Asian institution building, and policy suggestions for coping
with a historic new development in world affairs." -- back of book.
