The International Politics of the Asia Pacific: Third and Revised Edition (Politics in Asia)
Michael Yahuda, The International Politics of the Asia Pacific: Third and Revised Edition (Politics in Asia) (New York: Routledge, 2011).
This fully revised third edition of Michael Yahuda’s extremely successful textbook brings the region fully up-to-date, introducing students to the international politics of the Asia-Pacific region since 1945, assessing the post-cold War uncertainties that challenged balance and power within the region; the ‘war on terror’; new political administrations in all the key player-states; and increased cooperative security between some nations, polarised by volatile relationships between others.
Analyzing politics in terms of global, regional and local trends, this new edition features:
- In-depth discussion of the Bush administration legacy and where the Obama administration’s vision takes their policy
- Analysis of post-Koizumi/post-Abe Japan
- Examination of the continued Rise of China in terms of politics, security and economic dominance
- Ongoing debates concerning the ‘war on terror’ and how this shifts, forms and reforms relationships
- Asia-Pacific security issues
This new third edition will continue to be a core text for students of Asian politics, international relations and Cold war history.
