Abstract: "Dominic Kelly has written a fascinating study of Japanese policies designed to lead to the reconstruction of East Asia. He presents a detailed picture of Japanese activity in East Asia in the areas of production, finance, security and 'knowledge', and maps the historical context on which this activity rests. In doing so, Kelly sheds light on the increasingly powerful but imperfectly understood phenomenon of regionalism. He goes on to identify the major fault-lines situated beneath both theoretical accounts of Japanese regionalism as well as 'real-world' predictions of its success or failure."--Jacket.
