Now in its new and fully updated third edition, The New Global
Politics of the Asia Pacific continues to provide a compelling
analysis of a region undergoing dramatic changes. Based on new
research and offering fresh interpretation, this edition evaluates
the prospects for continuing US dominance in the 'Asian Century'.
Whilst presenting evidence for a multifaceted 'Beijing Strategy',
which aims to counter the US by building an alternative regional
order, it also explains Japan's definitive departure from its
limited military role. Providing an introductory guide for the main
frameworks needed to understand the region, including realism,
liberalism and critical theory, this new edition is
reader-friendly, and offers sophisticated competing explanations.
Key content includes: Intra-regional conflicts in the South China
Sea and the Korean peninsula, The different responses within the
Asia-Pacific to the globalization of Western ideas of democracy and
political economy, The underappreciated success of the Association
of Southeast Asian Nations in building a regional identity, The
European Union's soft power in the region. A highly topical
account, which offers an overview of the main actors, institutions
and contemporary issues in the Asia-Pacific, the book will be
essential reading for undergraduate students of Asian Studies,
International Politics, and anyone interested in the region.

With a population of over 500 million and a GDP exceeding $US16
trillion, the European Union (EU) is the world's largest economy.
In 1987, the EU commenced implementation of the Single European
Market (SEM) program. The objective of the SEM was to remove all
internal barriers to trade. It emphasized the centrality of the
four freedoms' to the harmonization of the EU economy: free
movement of goods, services, labour and capital. The 'four
freedoms' have transformed the EU from a customs union to a single
market. In 1999, the EU also adopted a single currency, the euro.
This book provides an economic and political analysis of the EU
Single Market in order to assess its medium-term outcomes across a
range of policy areas. The SEM involves a significant restructuring
of EU economic and competition policy. The most comprehensive
explanations of EU integration have come from international
relations and integration theory. This volume focuses upon the key
debates between neorealist and neoliberal explanations of EU
integration within the framework of the Single Market. This book
will be particularly useful to professionals working in the fields
of European economics, business and finance.
