Book The United States and Northeast Asia

Download or read book The United States and Northeast Asia written by G. John Ikenberry and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, the United States has played a crucial role in shaping Northeast Asian politics and economics. However, as this authoritative book shows, the Cold War's demise, September 11, and America's major strategic realignments have unleashed seismic changes in the region. China's rise, Japan's quest for a normal state, and the North Korean nuclear quagmire are also potential flashpoints. Collective memories of past aggression as well as resurgent nationalism further complicate regional dynamics. But hopeful signs abound, as deepening economic interdependence, expanding social and cultural exchanges, and the proliferation of informal economic, social, and cultural networks have improved the chances for a peaceful evolution to a liberal and stable region. Contributions by: Vinod K. Aggarwal, Paul Bacon, Avery Goldstein, G. John Ikenberry, Takashi Inoguchi, Ki-Jung Kim, Myongsob Kim, Woosang Kim, Yongho Kim, Min Gyo Koo, Michael Mastanduno, Chung-in Moon, Katharine H. S. Moon, Seung-won Suh, and William C. Wohlforth

Book The Making of Northeast Asia

Download or read book The Making of Northeast Asia written by Kent Calder and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northeast Asia, where the interests of three major nuclear powers and the world's two largest economies converge around the unstable pivot of the Korean peninsula, is a region rife with political-economic paradox. It ranks today among the most dangerous areas on earth, plagued by security problems of global importance, including nuclear and missile proliferation. Yet, despite its insecurity, the region has continued to be the most rapidly growing on earth for over five decades—and it is emerging as an identifiable economic, political, and strategic region in its own right. As the locus of both economic growth and political-military uncertainty in Asia has moved further to the Northeast, a need has developed for a book that focuses analytically on prospects for Northeast Asian cooperation within the context of both Asia and the Asia-Pacific regional relationship. This book does exactly that, while also offering a more general theory for Asian institution building.

Book Regional Co operation and Its Enemies in Northeast Asia

Download or read book Regional Co operation and Its Enemies in Northeast Asia written by Edward Friedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the prospects for building a regional community in Northeast Asia, this book considers the foreign policies of the individual states as well as the impact of domestic politics on the regionalist agenda. It outlines the emerging Northeast Asian community and the domestic requisites for its evolution and realization, and puts it in context by comparing the emerging community with Southeast Asia. The book investigates the attitudes of the key powers, including China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Russia and the US, towards the ideal of greater regional cooperation, with particular emphasis on the implications of domestic factors in each country for regional dynamics. It explores the North Korean nuclear crisis, the continuing tensions over the Taiwan Straits, the impact of Sino-Japanese rivalry, the shift in stance of South Korea towards North Korea since 2001 and its implications for its relationship with the US, and Putin’s attempts to strengthen Russian influence in the region. It concludes by identifying the foremost dangers that risk obstructing greater regional cooperation, particularly the China-Japan rivalry, nationalist sentiments, territorial disputes and energy competition.

Download or read book Northeast Asia written by Vinod K. Aggarwal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can regional mechanisms better institutionalize the increasing complexity of economic and security ties among the countries in Northeast Asia? As the international state system undergoes dramatic changes in both security and economic relations in the wake of the end of the Cold War, the Asian financial crisis, and the attack of 9/11, this question is now at the forefront of the minds of both academics and policymakers. Still, little research has been done to integrate the analysis of security and economic analysis of changes in the region within a broader context that will give us theoretically-informed policy insights. Against this backdrop, this book investigates the origins and evolution of Northeast Asia's new institutional architecture in trade, finance, and security from both a theoretical and empirical perspective.

Book Crises in Northeast Asia

Download or read book Crises in Northeast Asia written by Paul J. Bracken and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note, reprinted from The Washington Quarterly, Vol. 11, No. 4, Autumn 1988, discusses the issues surrounding the deterrence and management of crises in Northeast Asia, and the regional strategic consequences of such crises. The author discusses the relationship between crises and political stability in Northeast Asia and concludes that the danger of rocking the boat too much, even well short of war, is a potential source of fundamental change in the region. Premeditated attack seems unlikely for the foreseeable future. Gradual strategic realignments also appear to have little chance of fundamentally upsetting the power balance. Assessments of stability in Northeast Asia that exclude the possibility of limited displays of force in a crisis are incomplete and overlook some of the more likely, and possibly larger, dynamics of change in the region.
