The Asia-Pacific
region at the turn of the 21st century has grown in importance as
a major focal point of interaction in terms of commerce, economics,
political relationships and strategic linkages.
This book examines the intellectual, cultural, social, psycological,
political, economic and strategic dimensions of this burgeoning
interaction. The discussions contained in the twelve essays, written
by specialists and experts in Asia-Pacific international relations,
focus on the likely impacts of this Asian-Western interaction on
the political, economic, cultural and strategic landscape of the
Asia Pacific region. The changing roles of major Asia-Pacific powers,
especially the United States, China and Japan, are analysed in relation
to the interests and involvement of other equally important actors
such as Australia, Canada and Asean.
It
also incorporates analyses and commentaries on the strategic implications
of the Asian Financial Crisis, especially how it might impact on
future Asia-Pacific interactions and regional stability in the new
millennium.
