The post-Cold War era has been primarily characterized by an
international order dominated by one Superpower, the USA. With the
demise of the Soviet Union, the unilateral pursuit of US economic,
political and security interests became more possible than ever,
but how have these developments affected countries in the Asian
region?
This text analyses the overall effect of American primacy on social
and political conflicts in Asia, discussing how the post-Cold War
American agenda does not promote democratization in the region, in
contradiction to one of the major proclaimed aims of the proponents
of the Pax Americana. The team of renowned scholars argue that the
US agenda can strengthen anti-democratic impulses in Asian
societies, exacerbating and complicating existing domestic
conflicts and struggles. The book also examines how the
requirements of the War on Terror intersect with, and reinforce,
those of transnationalized sections of American capital.
Drawing on country case studies, this multi-disciplinary look at
the ramifications of the American Empire for the Asian region will
appeal to anyone interested in Asian politics, international
relations, political economy, development studies and sociology.
