Asia-Pacific Economic and Security Co-operation New Regional Agendas [Paperback]

This collection examines new developments in economic and security co-operation in the Asia-Pacific in relation to two recent 'shock' events that have significantly impacted upon the region, these being the 1997/98 East Asian financial crisis and the September 11 attacks on the United States. These are examined through three 'prime dimensions' of analysis, namely: the tension between the 'post-shock' forces of 'imperative co-operation' and the counter-forces of Asia-Pacific 'complex diversity'; the growing conflation between economic and security issues - or the 'economics-security nexus' - in Asia-Pacific international relations; the relationship between the Asia-Pacific's new economic and security bilateralism and regional-level forms of co-operation, integration and governance.PART I: INTRODUCTION New Economic and Security Co-operation in the Asia- Pacific: An Introduction; C.M.Dent PART II: GLOBAL CONTEXTS Asia-Pacific Economic Regionalism: Global Constraints and Opportunities; S.Lee Globalization and Security in East Asia; C.Hughes PART III: REGIONAL OVERVIEWS Asian Regionalism Five Years after the 1997/98 Financial Crisis: A Case of 'Co-operative Realism'?; J.R?land The Asia-Pacific's New Economic Bilateralism and Regional Political Economy; C.M.Dent Sea Power in the Asia-Pacific at the Turn of the Millennium; E.Grove PART IV: SUB-REGIONAL STUDIES The War on Terror: Implications for the ASEAN Region; J.Haacke ASEAN: Challenged from Within and Without; A.Collins Sub-Regional co-operation in the Mekong Valley: Implications for Regional Security; J.Dosch Democratization: A Threat to Peace and Stability in Southeast Asia?; A.Jetschke Changing China-Taiwan Relations and Asia-Pacific Regionalism: Economic Co-operation and Security Challenge; R.Li PART V: CYBER PERSPECTIVES Global Economic Change and Cyber-Networks: East Asia's Economic Security Threat in Perspective; N.Renwick Regionalism Online: a Case of e-ASEAN; X.Dai PART VI: CONCLUSION Prime Dimensions of the Nl3u
