Book Description
The Asia Pacific region is a dynamic but complex area where much of the history of the 21st Century will be scripted. Although the strategic and economic importance of the region continues to grow, challenges of reconciling national interests with regional and global interests continue. Security architectures during the Cold War were based primarily on military alliances. However the need today is to base these architectures on shared values, interests and challenges. We need not only define but believe in these universal values. This book brings out this important aspect of this region and explains them briefly.

Book Description
Long divided by cultural, economic, and political differences, the Asia-Pacific region has little history of multilateral cooperation. Alliances that once linked individual countries with one or the other superpower fostered deep mistrust among neighbouring states. The end of the Cold War, however, has created new opportunities for multilateral coo

Book Description
The end of the second World War in 1945 precipitated a series of post-colonial revolutions in the Asia-Pacific region, although, as a result of increasing hostility between Communism and the 'west' many nations entered into Cold War alliances which encouraged subservient interdependence in various ways. However, there were obvious benefits. During the 1980s and early 1990s Asia in general enjoyed strong economic growth, much of which could be attributed to government control over state planning and open access to Western markets. In recent times, political and economic policies such as those exemplified by the GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs), and GATS (General Agreement on Trade and Services), have mitigated against economic nationalism in favour of trade liberalisation. The Cold-War structures which for the past forty years provided economic underpinnings for many Asia-Pacific nations are losing effect. Due to their loss of economic stability, many South East Asian and Pacific islands nations are now more insecure than at any other time since their independence.

Book Description
Protectionism has been placed under the media spotlight, with news headlines generated by populist anti-globalization movements and Donald Trump's term as US President. Such a policy stance is putting at risk unilateral trade reform efforts in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere.This two-volume reference work provides a timely update on how far the region has come in opening markets. It analyzes the motivations or ostensible objectives of policies adopted in the past, the changing extent of the domestic price distortions involved, the economic effects of those policies at home and abroad, the political economy forces at work that brought about those policies and their subsequent reform, their consequences for international trade, economic welfare and poverty alleviation, and prospects for sustainable improvements in current policies. Case studies of major East Asian economies and Australia reveal how government priorities to assist farmers versus manufacturers changed over the past century but especially since the 1980s, and how that has affected trade between natural resource-poor and resource-rich economies.This set is highly recommended for those who are interested in the economics and politics of trade policies, agricultural economics, economic development, and food and nutrition security in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
