Japan and the Reconstruction of East Asia By Dominic Kelly
2002 | 257 Pages | ISBN: 0333964330 | PDF | 1 MB
Dominic Kelly analyzes Japanese policies designed to lead to the reconstruction of East Asia. He presents a detailed picture of Japanese activity in East Asia in the areas of production, finance, security, and knowledge, and maps out the historical context upon which this activity rests. Kelly sheds light on the increasingly powerful but imperfectly understood phenomenon of regionalism. He goes on to identity the major fault line situated beneath both theoretical accounts of Japanese regionalism and "real world" predictions of its success or failure.
