The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly emerging as the global economic and political powerhouse of the twenty-first century. Looking at both Southeast and East Asia; this richly illustrated volume stresses broad; cross-cutting themes of regional history; with an emphasis on the interactions between cultures and nations. In this updated fourth edition; Pacific Century provides a significantly revised introduction; which places the contemporary rise of China within the context of the political; cultural and economic evolution of the region since ancient times. The text then considers more recent developments in their historical context; balancing national and international factors underlying Asia-Pacific economic growth and political change.More information on this title can be found at www.pacificcentury.org/index.html.
