This collection of papers by leading scholars, business leaders,
and government officials discusses recent developments in the
global movements of people, goods, services, and information in the
Asia-Pacific region. Such movements are both the cause and
consequence of the latest round of globalization, a process of
special significance to the Asia-Pacific region. The lead paper by
Professor Yuan-Tseh Lee, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry and former
President of Academia Sinica, offers a personal reflection on
international education and the global flow of knowledge and
talent. Another lead paper by Ambassador Alfonso Yuchengco, one of
the region's most respected business leaders and diplomats,
provides insights on transnational businesses and diplomacy,
especially in the ASEAN Plus-Three context and China's re-emergence
as a world power. Other papers present new theoretical, policy and
empirical understanding of international migration, trade and
investment movements, global logistics, and transnational flows of
information technology and architectural influences. The papers
were made possible by the International Scientific Meetings Grant
of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Ministry
of Education, which encourages the involvement of young scholars in
the wider dissemination of knowledge on issues of major scientific
and practical importance to the international community.
The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly becoming the main area of growth
in the global economy in the 21st century. Recent developments in
the movement of people, goods, services, and information are
closely linked to the latest round of globalization, of which the
effects on this region are particularly dramatic.The papers in this
volume are by leading scholars, business leaders and government
officials from the region. They include Yuan-Tseh Lee, Nobel Prize
Winner in Chemistry, who reflects on the global flow of knowledge
and talent; and Alfonso Yuchengco, one of the region's most
respected business leaders and diplomats, who discusses
transnational businesses, diplomacy, and China's re-emergence as a
world power. Other papers present new insights into the processes
and policies governing flows of migrants, trade, investment,
transport, information technology, and ideas. This book originated
from the 2006 Annual Conference of the Ritsumeikan Center for Asia
Pacific Studies, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Beppu, Japan,
supported by an International Scientific Meetings Grant from the
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. It will be of interest
to all students and scholars of this dynamic region.Pookong Kee and
Hidetaka Yoshimatsu are Professors in the College of Asia Pacific
Studies, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Japan's Asian
diplomacy under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Under the Kantei-centred
policymaking system, Shinzo Abe has implemented assertive foreign
policies with a slogan of 'diplomacy taking a panoramic perspective
of the world'. The analyses in the book cover the traditional and
emerging fields of national security and international political
economy. While its empirical examination is based on field-specific
research, it also incorporates the analysis of Japan's bilateral
relations with China, the US, India, and others. In addition, the
book provides a solid, theory-driven analysis of Japan's external
policy and relations. In an independent chapter, this work sets up
integrative theoretical frameworks for empirical analyses by
relying on key concepts drawn from the three international
relations theories of realism, liberalism and constructivism. Going
forward, research in this book also explores the development of key
regional affairs. Maritime security and space security are two of
major security-related affairs, in which the states in East Asia
and the Asia-Pacific have to engage, including the development of
the TPP (TPP-11) and RCEP, as well as infrastructure development
and development cooperation, which are crucial in relation to
China's initiatives in the BRI and AIIB. Lastly, the book provides
valuable references to regionalism in East Asia and the
Asia-Pacific by analyzing regional integration/cooperation through
free trade agreements and the development of regional connectivity.
This includes the evolution of cooperation and conflict within key
regional frameworks such as the East Asia Summit and APEC, as well
as key regional visions such as the Free and Open Indo-Pacific. It
also takes into account the possible influence of ideational
factors such as norms, principles, and rules on the development of
regional cooperation.
