Summary:

The focus of this book is the changing pattern of international politics in the Asia-Pacific region on the eve of the 21st century with particular reference to the role of the United States, ASEAN, Japan, China, and the emerging role of Latin America, as well as multilateral cooperation forums such as APEC, ARF, and CSCAP. The analysis is not based on a single theoretical approach but instead employs different perspectives.
