Takeshi Hamashita, arguably Asia's premier historian of the longue
duree, has been instrumental in opening a new field of inquiry in
Chinese, East Asian and world historical research. Engaging
modernization, Marxist and world system approaches, his
wide-ranging redefinition of the evolving relationships between the
East Asia regional system and the world economy from the sixteenth
century to the present has sent ripples throughout Asian and
international scholarship. His research has led him to
reconceptualize the position of China first in the context of an
East Asian regional order and subsequently within the framework of
a wider Euro-American-Asian trade and financial order that was long
gestating within, and indeed contributing to the shape of, the
world market. This book presents a selection of essays from Takeshi
Hamashita's oeuvre on Asian trade to introduce this important
historian's work to the English speaking reader. It examines the
many critical issues surrounding China and East Asia's
incorporation to the world economy, including: Maritime
perspectives on China, Asia and the world economy Intra-Asian trade
Chinese state finance and the tributary trade system Banking and
finance Maritime customs.

The East Asian expansion since the 1960s stands out as a global power shift with few historical precedents. The Resurgence of East Asia examines the rise of the region as one of the world's economic power centres from three temporal perspectives: 500 years, 150 years and 50 years, each denoting an epoch in regional and world history and providing a vantage point against which to assess contemporary developments.
