✦ Synopsis

This book combines pathbreaking theoretical work with case studies focusing on the implications of the new international order for Asia. Prominent Australian, North American, European, and Asian scholars identify the central issues in the debates on the nature of the international order - or disorder - following the Cold War. Most of the contributors believe that the new order can help preserve peace among the leading powers, but they are less hopeful about limiting the possibilities for regional violence. The prospects in the Asia-Pacific region are relatively favorable, provided always that policies are sensitive to the specific concerns of the societies in the region.
