Download or read book What Is In A Rim? written by Arif Dirlik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, scholars question the current euphoria over the rapid growth of the Pacific rim - as an economic region and as a political ideal. They suggest that much of the discourse on the region is highly ideological, focusing on its potential for capitalist development while ignoring the limitations of such development, its human costs and consequences. This critique of the idea of a Pacific rim also seeks to redress the balance by focusing on the region in terms of human interactions.
Book Synopsis The Pacific Rim And The Western World by : Philip West
Download or read book The Pacific Rim And The Western World written by Philip West and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the economic, strategic, and cultural elements that shape the attraction--and the friction--between the Pacific and Atlantic communities, this book integrates European perspectives into a discussion that has traditionally been dominated by Asian and U.S. voices. The authors take as their theme the uncertainty created by the Pacific Rim’s new role in shifting the international balances of political and economic power. Economic uncertainty has been fueled by Asia’s trade surpluses with Western Europe and the United States, with the West viewing its system of free world trade as working to the greater advantage of the Asia Pacific. Strategic uncertainty pivots on the U.S.-USSR superpower rivalry and on the growing influence of Japan and the PRC on the strategic balance in the Pacific Basin. A more subtle and powerful constraint surfaces in the realm of culture--in differing perceptions among the people of the Asia Pacific and the West concerning liberal values and the liberal underpinnings of the present system of world trade.

Book Synopsis Growth and Crises in the Asian Pacific Rim by : Margaret Malixi
Download or read book Growth and Crises in the Asian Pacific Rim written by Margaret Malixi and published by . This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's ongoing transformation and expanding economic prowess has sustained interest in the models of Asian economic development. The earlier successes of the "Asian Tiger" economies of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore and the historic and current preeminence of Japan as both a regional and world economic power, inspire more in-depth and comparative studies of these Asian models. Growth and Crises in the Asian Pacific Rim familiarizes the reader with the various Asian models of development, exploring both the strengths and weaknesses of these paradigms. Economic dynamism in East Asia during the last sixty years provides a multitude of case studies that illustrate economic fundamentals, such as the development of economic bubbles and currency crises. This book is designed as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate students and is accessible to readers with a rudimentary knowledge of economics. Although the book endeavors to explain the phenomenon of economic growth and development, the selections are written from various disciplinary perspectives such as economics, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, business, and international relations. It is appropriate for course use in other social science disciplines and business areas focusing on the study of Asian Pacific Rim development. The general reader seeking to understand the various modes of growth and development of rapidly evolving regions such as the Asian Pacific Rim will find the book's selections illuminating. Margaret Malixi is professor of economics at California State University-Bakersfield. Her research interests and publications lie in the area of international economics, open economy macroeconomics, applied econometrics, and Asian Pacific Rim development.

Download or read book Coming Full Circle written by Eric Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the long-term, historical development of the major economies around the Pacific Rim in language aimed at the general reader, Coming Full Circle throws light on the most important relationships in the region today as well as on the prospects for future economic development and political cooperation. The authors begin with a critique of the popular notion of an integrated "Pacific region," paying particular attention to the influence of geography and environment on population distribution and patterns of regional economic activity. Their study covers the diverse indigenous development of pre-European times, later periods of direct European influence, and the evolution of modern-day urban societies in the region. Finally, they track the rise of the United States and Japan as the dominant regional economic powers and forecast changes we can expect to see in the years ahead, noting in particular the increasing importance of China.

Download or read book What Is in a Rim? written by Arif Dirlik and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1998-03-05 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pathbreaking, multidisciplinary work challenges our unthinking acceptance of such terms as 'Asia Pacific' and 'Pacific Rim.' Clarifying the hidden power relationships and hegemonic struggles that are disguised by ideological constructions of the region, the contributors uncover fundamental contradictions_including the human costs and consequences_that underlie the much-celebrated economic boom. In evaluating the idea of 'Asia Pacific,' the book shifts our focus from abstract relationships between capital and commodities to the human interactions that have played a formative part in the region's constitution. The contributors agree that it is these interactions that constitute the region, rather than the physical boundaries of the Pacific. This revised and updated edition brings in additional essays focusing on conceptualizations of the Pacific, considers more fully interactions among countries, and strongly emphasizes peoples within the Pacific, who are routinely ignored in most discussions of the 'Rim.'
Book Synopsis The Pacific Rim by : Peter N. Nemetz
Download or read book The Pacific Rim written by Peter N. Nemetz and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the importance of the Pacific Rim as a global centre of large-scale investment, development, and trade continues to increase, so do the potential benefits that Canada and other countries could reap as a result of an increased presence in this diverse region. This book, a revised, and to a large extent new, version of The Pacific Rim: Investment, Development, and Trade (1987), integrates a broad range of current economic data concerning the Pacific Rim with some of the more important theoretical issues in the area of economic development and trade. It demonstrates the paradoxical combination of strength and fragility that characterizes the emerging integrated Pacific Rim economy and attempts to clarify the nature of the framework and constraints that face foreign investors and trading partners.
Book Synopsis US Economic Development Policies Towards the Pacific Rim by : Nancy Wiegersma
Download or read book US Economic Development Policies Towards the Pacific Rim written by Nancy Wiegersma and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US aid interventions have greatly advantaged some countries in their quest for development, but not others. The extensive development assistance that the United States government granted Taiwan and South Korea in their development and the aid recently given Costa Rica were important factors in their development successes. On the other hand, the inappropriate policies of the US in Vietnam in the fifties, El Salvador in the eighties and Nicaragua in the nineties, programmed these interventions to economic as well as political failure.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of New Regionalisms in the Pacific Rim by : José Briceño-Ruiz
Download or read book The Political Economy of New Regionalisms in the Pacific Rim written by José Briceño-Ruiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining an analysis of regionalism from a systemic view with a domestic political-economy analysis, this book sheds light on the new dynamics and emerging configurations of regionalisms and interregionalisms in the post-Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Donald Trump’s presidency has transformed trans-Pacific economic and political relations, contrasting sharply with President Obama’s ‘pivot to Asia’ strategy. Unilateralism and bilateralism have returned to the center stage, at the cost of regionalism, interregionalism, and multilateralism. Understanding these new dynamics requires closer examination of the underlying domestic political economies. Examining ten country case studies of multi-actor agency at the national level, expert contributors argue that trans-Pacific relations should not only be explained in terms of the behavior of the major powers, but that medium powers, and even small countries, can exert influence and occupy strategic nodes and contribute to shaping a new international relations network. Their findings will be of interest to scholars of international relations, international political economy, regionalism, and international economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectacular economic growth in the Pacific Basin--comprising the countries in or bordering on the Pacific Ocean--is transforming world politics and economics. This growth in production, international trade, and overall economic achievement has brought about a shift in the world's political and economic center of gravity, a shift away from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
