What will the Asia-Pacific rim look like in the years ahead?
What tools will international relations theorists need to
understand the complex relationship among China, Japan, and the
United States as the three powers shape the economic and political
future of this crucial region?
Some of the best and most innovative scholars in international
relations and Asian area studies gather here with the working
premise that stability in the broader Asia-Pacific region is in
large part a function of the behavior of, and relationships among,
these three major powers. Each author analyzes the foreign policy
behavior of one or more of these states and/or relations among them
in an effort to make claims about the prospects for regional
stability. Some of the chapters focus on security relationships,
some on economic relations, and some on the interaction of the two.
The authors do not promote any particular theoretical perspective,
but instead draw on the full diversity of theoretical approaches in
contemporary international relations scholarship to illuminate
international interactions among the Pacific powers.
The creative collaboration of international relations and Asian
studies specialists presents the opportunity to assess the
applicability of Western categories of analysis to the beliefs and
behaviors of Asian actors. The scholars in this volume share the
conviction that a deeper understanding of the effects of cultural
divides between Asian and American policymakers is essential if the
Pacific rim's economic and regional security is to be
safeguarded.
