The Pacific Rim of Asia – Pacific Asia – is now the world's
largest and most cohesive economic region, and China has returned
to its center. China's global outlook is shaped by its regional
experience, first as a pre-modern Asian center, then displaced by
Western-oriented modernization, and now returning as a central
producer and market in a globalized region. Developments since 2008
have been so rapid that future directions are uncertain, but
China's presence, population, and production guarantee it a key
role. As a global competitor, China has awakened American anxieties
and the US-China rivalry has become a major concern for the rest of
the world. However, rather than facing a power transition between
hegemons, the US and China are primary nodes in a multi-layered,
interconnected global matrix that neither can control. Brantly
Womack argues that Pacific Asia is now the key venue for working
out a new world order.
