While the Iraq war and Middle East conflicts command the attention
of the United States and most of the rest of the developed world,
fundamental changes are occurring in East Asia. North Korea has
tested nuclear weapons, even as it and South Korea have effectively
entered a period of tepid dA(c)tente; relations among China, Japan,
and South Korea are a complex mixture of conflict and cooperation;
and Japan is developing more forthright security policies, even as
it deepens ties with the United States. Together, these
developments pose vital questions for world stability and security.
In East Asian Multilateralism, prominent international foreign
affairs scholars examine the range of implications of shifting
alignments in East Asia. The first part delves into the
intraregional dynamics, and the second assesses current economic
conditions and policies within individual East Asian states. The
third section examines the challenge of regional cooperation from
the perspectives of local players, while the fourth analyzes the
implications for foreign policy in the United States and in
Asia.
This thorough review and assessment charts the preconditions and
prospects for deeper multilateralism, poses tough questions about
America's security and national interests in the region, and
carries a plea for more serious institution-building in the North
Pacific, using the ongoing six-party process in talks on North
Korea as a point of departure.
