This book explores the ways that institutions play a role - or fail
to - in Japanese and American approaches to regional governance in
East Asia. It uses recent studies on the logic and dynamics of
institutions to determine the logic of order within the East Asia
region. The central focus is on bilateral and multilateral regional
institutions.
The US, China, and Japan form a 'troubled triangle,' with each
country negotiating its foreign policy toward the other two in
response to economic and security pressures that operate as an
interrelated duality. Written by international relations experts,
this book examines how the three countries respond to this set of
pressures and to each other.
South Korea has emerged as a new middle power playing a significant
role in a wide range of important global issue areas and supporting
liberal international order with its leadership diplomacy. The
growing role played by new powers like Korea calls into question
the prevailing view that global governance is polarized with
emerging powers challenging the liberal international order
established by the United States and its European allies after
World War II. As the case of Korea shows, large developing
countries like the BRICS are not the only emerging powers active in
global governance. Newly developed or high income developing
countries like South Korea, Turkey and Mexico are also active
emerging powers, taking new initiatives, setting agendas and
mediating conflicts between rival groups on the global stage.
Because these high income developing countries have advanced under
and benefited from the liberal international order, they see a
great stake in its stability and show a willingness to protect it.
"Liberal internationalist" developing countries are joining the
expanding list of middle powers who contribute to the maintenance
of liberal international order as niche players and system
supporters.

"The Troubled Triangle: Economic and Security Concerns for The
United States, Japan and China" examines how the three largest
economies of the world weave triangulated relationships to one
another atop uneasy foundations. The crux of the instability lies
in the dissonance between economic allure and security thrust.
Economic allure exists for each of the three nations, respectively,
in the United States' global currency, Japan's high technology, and
China's manufacturing factory and market. Security thrust means
that the United States has primacy, Japan has alliance and China
seeks autonomy. Drawn from the three countries' most renowned
experts on the subject, this collective volume presents a balanced
and well-contextualized analysis of the troubled triangle.
This book explores the ways that institutions play a role--or fail
to--in Japanese and American approaches to regional governance in
East Asia. It uses recent studies on the logic and dynamics of
institutions to determine the logic of order within the East Asia
region. The central focus is on bilateral and multilateral regional
institutions, how Japan and the U.S. use these institutions, and
what we can learn about the future direction of institutions of
governance within the East Asia region.
This edited volume examines the U.S.-Japan security alliance, the key to U.S.-Japanese relations since the end of U.S. occupation in the 1950s. The alliance has long been a source of both cooperation and stress between the two nations, but with rapid changes in Asia, it has grown more problematic. This book brings American and Japanese specialists together to examine the alliance within the wider regional environment and to determine whether and how the bilateral alliance can evolve and remain at the core of the region's security order.
