The Pacific Basin: An Introduction is a new textbook which provides
an interdisciplinary and comparative overview of the emerging
Pacific world. Interest in the Pacific Basin has increased markedly
in recent years, driven largely by the rise of China as a global
rival to the United States and Asian development more generally.
Growth in eastern Asia, as well as in the western Americas, has led
the Pacific Basin to evolve as a dynamic economic zone. To make
sense of this transformation, the book: Defines the Pacific Basin,
locates it in academic research, and explains its importance.
Addressees the historical origins and evolution of the Pacific
Basin and its sub-regions. Introduces students to the historical
and contemporary relationships, continuities and differences that
characterize the region. Incorporates analyses of colonialism and
imperialism, migration and settlement, economic development and
trade, international relations, war and memory, environmental
policy, urbanization, mental and public health, gender, film, and
literature. Connects the diverse peoples of this vast area,
explores their common challenges and the diverse responses to these
challenges, and provides a window into the lived humanity of the
Pacific Basin. The Pacific Basin: An Introduction is a key textbook
for undergraduate courses on the Pacific Basin, the Pacific Rim,
International Studies, Geography, World History, and Globalization.
