Their basic arguments is that region—making is no longer about following particular national models but rather about the emergence of a 'truly hybrid form of regionalism'. Despite the use of the word 'beyond' it is still very much a Japan-focused volume and Japan specialists will find much of interest here.\u003c\/p\u003e - Brian Bridges (Asian Affairs)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave Japan's relative economic decline and China's rapid ascent altered the dynamics of Asian regionalism? Peter Katzenstein and Takashi Shiraishi, the editors of \u003ci\u003eNetwork Power\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most comprehensive volumes on East Asian regionalism in the 1990s, present here an impressive new collection that brings the reader up to date.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book argues that East Asia's regional dynamics are no longer the result of a simple extension of any one national model. While Japanese institutional structures and political practices remain critically important, the new East Asia now under construction is more than, and different from, the sum of its various national parts. At the outset of a new century, the interplay of Japanese factors with Chinese, American, and other national influences is producing a distinctively new East Asian region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52541845143832,"sku":"9780801472503","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-japan-the-dynamics-of-east-asian-regionalism-paperback-softback-9780801472503","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
