Description: "Northeast Asia today is largely a geographical referent rather than a political entity or an economic unit. China, Japan, North and South Korea, Mongolia, and Pacific Russia remain politically suspicious of each other and economically unintegrated.

In this book, experts from the respective countries and the United States examine the desirability and feasibility of regional economic cooperation, highlighting the dominant national perspectives in the region and the implications of ongoing economic changes for national and international security. Collectively the authors point out that the balance between political nationalism and economic regionalism is key to the future prospects of regional cooperation."--BOOK JACKET.
