This book takes account of the global financial crisis from Asian
perspectives, considering Asian responses to the crisis via two key
arenas - regionalism in Asia and the G20. The expert contributors -
both Asian and Western - illustrate that as G20 members, many Asian
countries are now able to showcase their increasing powers and
influence on global issues. Within this context, and via
multidisciplinary economic and political science perspectives, the
book deals with various issues such as World System analysis, the
debate between the Washington Consensus and the Beijing Consensus,
roles within the G20, and the contribution of 'middle' powers such
as Korea and Australia. The application of European experiences to
Asia is also considered, as are perspectives from the US. The book
concludes that the key to resolving the current global economic
crisis lies in how quickly a new global governance and monitoring
system can be constructed, and that there are multiple roles for
Asian countries to play in its development. Written with a uniquely
multidisciplinary approach, this book will prove a fascinating read
for a wide-ranging audience encompassing academics, students,
researchers and policymakers in a number of fields including Asian
studies, economics, public policy and regional studies.
