ISBN: 1403918031 ISBN-13: 9781403918031 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $52.24 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2003 Annotation: 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. |
