The making of Northeast Asia

About this book

In the most rapidly growing as well as most dangerous areas on earth, Northeast Asia is plagued by security problems of global importance including nuclear and missile proliferation. However, it has also become an identifiable economic, political, and strategic entity in its own right. As the locus for all this growth and uncertainty has moved further to the Northeast, an analytical study of prospects for collaboration within Northeast Asia is needed rather that a generalized study of Asia. Here is provided that exact, explicit Northeast Asia focus, while also offering a more general theory for Asian institution building and policy suggestions for coping with a historic new development in world affairs.
