The rise of Pacific Asia within the tripolar global
industrial-capitalist system is of extraordinary interest. Few
doubt that the dynamics of Asia will shape the global political
economy of the twenty-first century. It is clear that the Pacific
Asian region is undergoing extensive development and these
processes generate questions of intense interest to a wide
community of enquiry. It is likely that the task of deciphering the
interplay of the divergent cultural logics of the three regions of
Pacific Asia, North America and the European Union will occupy
scholars, policy analysts and political actors for some
considerable time.This introduction will serve as a 'first stop'
for those interested in Japan, its role within the Pacific Asian
region and, in turn, that region's role within the evolving global
system. In this volume P. W. Preston critically analyses the
political economy, social institutions and culture of Pacific Asia.
The analysis focuses on Japan, it relations with the inner
periphery of South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the outer
periphery of Southeast Asia, and its developing linkages with the
reforming socialist countries of China and Indo-China. The critical
perspective, awareness of cultural and ethnic trends and a
sophisticated grasp of political economic and social patterns makes
this volume an essential introduction of the region.
