The increasing importance of the Pacific and Pacific Rim within the
global economy places us on the brink of a Pacific Century. While
many hold that the concept of a Pacific region has only emerged in
the 20th century, this work demonstrates that such an economic
region has existed for almost five hundred years. Starting with the
16th-century trade of Latin American silver for Chinese silk,
researchers trace the economic, environmental and social history of
the Pacific region. Chapters examine the trade of diverse
commodities within the Pacific and analyze the ecological and
social impacts of this increasing economic activity. The strong
Chinese marketplace emerges as crucial to early Pacific
development, and is compared with Japan's central role in the
region's modern economy. This book contributes to the understanding
of a dynamic economic region. The study also advances research into
the economic histories of South and South East Asia, Australia and
America, situating them within the wider Pacific context.
