The new Asian renaissance

In the global race for growth, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as the front runner. This study provides a comprehensive history of today's East Asia, tracing the essential stages in the rise of the region, from its birth under colonial rule to the post-Cold War period. The New Asian Renaissance recounts the evolution of China, Japan, North & South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Francois Godement outlines the major forces that have led to the present economic, political and social shape of East Asia. Originally published in French, this work is an essential tool for understanding the past, present and future of a region that has become a significant actor in the international political economy.
