THE ASIAN PACIFIC: POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT

---

The Asian Pacific: Political and Economic Development in a Global Context fills a critical gap in providing an up-to-date introduction to both the internal and international politics of the fifteen mainland and island countries of East and Southeast Asia--China, North and South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei--and the colony of Hong Kong.

Key Features
• Comparative, thematic analysis of development in the Asian Pacific, demonstrating the linkages between politics and economics within countries and among them
• Examination of the colonial experience and its impact on the growth of nationalism and the formation of modern political and economic institutions
• Cross-national comparisons of the transformation of traditional cultures and their adaptation of Western ideologies
• Thought-provoking, theoretical framework that contrasts two theories of development--modernization theory and world system theory
• Interdisciplinary content, encompassing political science, economics, sociology, and anthropology
• Instructor's Manual
