Regionalism and Globalization in East Asia: Politics, Security and Economic Development

By Mark Beeson

Book Overview

The updated and revised new edition of this leading text in the field examines the political systems, economic structures, and security relationships of East Asia. It shows how trends in regionalism and globalization are central to understanding East Asia's role on the world-stage and its position in the changing global order. Mark Beeson details the strengths and weaknesses of East Asia's disparate states and assesses the region's capacity to manage its own-often troubled-internal relations, as well as those with the rest of the world. He shows how East Asian development and the prospects for a more unified East Asian region can only be understood in the context of the unique historical circumstances that have underpinned the region's remarkable rise to prominence. Two new chapters in this second edition add to the book's authoritative analysis of East Asia's international and regional relations by providing full accounts of recent regional crises and the rise of China.
