In this volume the authors examine relationships between the growth
and the economic, political and strategic expansion of a country
and its propensity for conflict and war. The intention is to
ascertain through the systematic analysis of one case over 100
years the extent to which territorial expansion and armed conflict
are less an inevitable consequence of growth and development than
an outcome of the demands and requirements of states and their
economic, political and strategic security needs. Also of critical
concern is the extent to which national expansion, once accepted as
a security imperative, may create its own demands and requirements
for even further expansion. The study combines historical inquiry
with quantitative analysis in order to compare Japanese modes of
growth, expansion and conflict from the Meiji Restoration to World
War I, during the inter-war period and over the years since 1945.
This book should be of interest to postgraduates and academics;
politics, history and Japanese studies.
First published in 1993. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This book focuses on three interdependent challenges related to
managing transitions toward sustainable development. These are:
mapping sustainability for global knowledge e-networking, extending
the value chain of knowledge and e-networking, and engaging in
explorations of new methods and venues for further developing
knowledge and e-networking. While each of these challenges
constitutes fundamentally different types of endeavors, they are
highly interconnected. Jointly, they contribute to our expansion of
knowledge and its applications in support of transitions toward
sustainable development.
This book focuses on three interdependent challenges related to
managing transitions toward sustainable development, namely (a)
mapping sustainability for global knowledge e-networking, (b)
extending the value chain of knowledge and e-networking, and (c)
engaging in explorations of new methods and venues for further
developing knowledge and e-networking. While each of these
challenges constitutes fundamentally different types of endeavors,
they are highly interconnected. Jointly, they contribute to our
expansion of knowledge and its applications in support of
transitions toward sustainable development.
The central theme of this book revolves around ways of
transcending barriers that impede the use of knowledge and
knowledge networking in transitions toward sustainability. In order
to transcend these barriers, we examine the potential contributions
of innovations in information technologies as well as computation
and representation of attendant complexities. A related theme
addresses new ways of managing information and systematic
observation for the purpose of enhancing the value of knowledge.
Finally, this book shows applications of new methodologies and
related findings that would contribute to our understanding of
sustainablity issues that have not yet been explored. In many ways,
this is a book of theory and of practice; and it is one of methods
as well as policy and performance.
A foundational analysis of the co-evolution of the internet and
international relations, examining resultant challenges for
individuals, organizations, firms, and states. In our increasingly
digital world, data flows define the international landscape as
much as the flow of materials and people. How is cyberspace shaping
international relations, and how are international relations
shaping cyberspace? In this book, Nazli Choucri and David D. Clark
offer a foundational analysis of the co-evolution of cyberspace
(with the internet as its core) and international relations,
examining resultant challenges for individuals, organizations, and
states. The authors examine the pervasiveness of power and politics
in the digital realm, finding that the internet is evolving much
faster than the tools for regulating it. This creates a
"co-evolution dilemma"-a new reality in which digital interactions
have enabled weaker actors to influence or threaten stronger
actors, including the traditional state powers. Choucri and Clark
develop a new method for addressing control in the internet age,
"control point analysis," and apply it to a variety of situations,
including major actors in the international and digital realms: the
United States, China, and Google. In doing so they lay the
groundwork for a new international relations theory that reflects
the reality in which we live-one in which the international and
digital realms are inextricably linked and evolving together.
