Synopsis
The first reference of its kind, this A-to-Z compendium emphasizes intergovernmental organizations, but includes entries relating to the policies of a number of states toward Asia- Pacific regionalism, as well as entries relating to links with other regions or regional entities, such as the European Union.
To place the international organizations into the broader context of international politics, the author has also included some entries on major international developments in the Asia-Pacific region since 1945.
The intergovernmental organizations can be grouped into four broad types:
1. Region-wide
2. Sub-regional
3. Universal with regional presence
4. Regional and sub-regional functional

Review
There is an excellent bibliography at the end of the book providing extensive list of books and articles on various topics related to international organisations in the region. Also very useful is a list of Websites and mailing addresses of selected organisations...will prove immensely useful for the students and scholars of Asia-Pacific international relations. (Australian Journal Of Political Science)
A welcome corrective to exaggeration, showing that the region is far from an organization vacuum, but rather home to a surprising variety of intergovernmental and international NGO networks...a handy, accurate, and near-comprehensive compendium of recent and current Asian and Pacific associations...recommended to libraries, officials, and international relations scholars, along with its companion volumes in the publisher's Historical Dictionaries of International Relations Organizations Series. (Australian Journal Of International Affairs)
...a handy, accurate...compendium of recent and current Asian and Pacific associations, and as such is recommended to libraries, officials, and international relations scholars...
