Through Asian Eyes

U.S. Policy in the Asian Century

296 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Will China remain stable and what will be the intentions of her leaders? Can Japan map out a new role for the worlds largest economy, another Meiji Revolution? Will Indonesia be able to hang together as it attempts, once again, to find some formula for a nation-state from its very disparate elements? Is India doomed to struggle on in a mire of social and economic problems or will possible recognition of its new hegemonic role in South Asia by the U.S. and the West generally, bring a new era? Will Pakistan overcome its current crisis of identity, somehow synthesizing intensification of Islamic values (whatever that may mean) and nationhood with falling off the precipice of fanaticism? Can Thailand, once again, exhibit that special knack of riding the crest of any wave that strikes the area- or is a fundamental new step toward modernization too difficult? Through Asian Eyes: U.S. Policy in the Asian Century evaluates these issues through the Asian perspective.
