Expertise symbolized legitimacy, progress, and a universal reason that could transcend ideological divides. In compelling detail, the authors reveal an unpredictable time when knowledge itself was up for grabs: who could claim and control it, where it could be exported, and what institutions would house it. An outstanding contribution to the intellectual history of twentieth-century Asia.\"—Nick Cullather, author of \u003ci\u003eIllusions of Influence: The Political Economy of United States-Philippines Relations, 1942-1960\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This book offers English readers deeper insight into the wide-ranging layers of how the US finessed selling its knowhow and infrastructure education to Asia.

The essays within this collection explore a wide variety of this knowledge production: state-centered promotions of construction and normalization of knowledge; the ways in which non-state actors were involved in the construction and normalization of knowledge; and how individuals and groups who resisted or protested the hegemonic knowledge were constructed by state or non-state actors.\u003cbr\u003e A distinctive look at the Cold War through the research and perspectives of scholars from East Asia, \u003ci\u003eKnowledge Production in Cold War Asia\u003c\/i\u003e insightfully highlights the role of knowledge production, normalization, and resistance in the Cold War era, contributing to a fuller understanding of international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, by Yuka Tsuchiya Moriguchi, Shin Kawashima, and Somei Kobayashi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eArea Studies\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e1.
