description: In today's post-Cold War world - with economic security a paramount concern - Asia Pacific is establishing an increasingly important role in global politics. This book assesses the potential power configuration of the region, exploring not only its new strategic position, but equally the parts played by its major Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, the ASEAN members, Russia and the United States. Intra-regional relations, the prospects for regional integration, and the implications of Asia Pacific's new strength for US policy are also investigated. And, perhaps most important for IR theory, the book offers a coherent view of Asia Pacific's likely role in 21st century world politics.
