- Summary:
- East Asia is the most economically dynamic, strategically significant and politically diverse region on the planet - and the rise of China ensures that the region will be a crucial influence on international relations in the twenty-first century. Regionalism and Globalization in East Asia provides an introduction to and an analysis of the distinctive character and evolution of the political systems, economic structures and security relationships of East Asia. 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 the development of a more unified East Asian region can only be understood in the context of the unique historical circumstances that have underpinned its remarkable rise to prominence over the last few decades.
