This pathbreaking, multidisciplinary work challenges our unthinking
acceptance of such terms as 'Asia Pacific' and 'Pacific Rim.'
Clarifying the hidden power relationships and hegemonic struggles
that are disguised by ideological constructions of the region, the
contributors uncover fundamental contradictions_including the human
costs and consequences_that underlie the much-celebrated economic
boom. In evaluating the idea of 'Asia Pacific,' the book shifts our
focus from abstract relationships between capital and commodities
to the human interactions that have played a formative part in the
region's constitution. The contributors agree that it is these
interactions that constitute the region, rather than the physical
boundaries of the Pacific. This revised and updated edition brings
in additional essays focusing on conceptualizations of the Pacific,
considers more fully interactions among countries, and strongly
emphasizes peoples within the Pacific, who are routinely ignored in
most discussions of the 'Rim.'
