This book examines regional dynamics in contemporary east and
southeast Asia, scrutinizing the effects of Japanese dominance on
the politics, economics, and cultures of the area. The contributors
ask whether Japan has now attained, through sheer economic power
and its political and cultural consequences, the predominance it
once sought by overtly military means.The discussion is framed by
the profound changes of the past decade. Since the end of the Cold
War and the breakup of the Soviet Union, regional dynamics
increasingly shape international and national developments. This
volume places Japan's role in Asian regionalism in a broader
comparative perspective with European regionalism and the role
Germany plays. It assesses the competitive logics of continental
and coastal primacy in China. In starkest form, the question
addressed is whether Chinese or Japanese domination of the Asian
region is more likely. Between a neo-mercantilist emphasis on the
world's movement toward relatively closed regional blocs and an
opposing liberal view that global markets are creating convergent
pressures across all national boundaries and regional divides, this
book takes a middle position. Asian regionalism is identified by
two intersecting developments: Japanese economic penetration of
Asian supplier networks through a system of production alliances,
and the emergence of a pan-Pacific trading region that includes
both Asia and North America. The contributors emphasize factors
that are creating an Asia marked by multiple centers of influence,
including China and the United States.
