The Resurgence of East Asia: 500, 150 and 50 Year Perspectives

by Giovanni Arrighi and Takeshi Hamashita

The East Asian expansion since the 1960s stands out as a global power shift with few historical precedents. The Resurgence of East Asia examines the rise of the region as one of the world's economic power centres from three temporal perspectives: 500 years, 150 years and 50 years, each denoting an epoch in regional and world history and providing a vantage point against which to assess contemporary developments.
