Capturing the most recent currents in world affairs―without sacrificing historical context―the second edition of Asia Pacific in World Politics reflects more than a decade of new developments. The focus on the region’s major state actors has now been broadened to include an entirely new chapter on India and greatly expanded treatment of both Russia and Australia. The role of international organizations is also thoroughly covered, as are the conflicts involving Taiwan and Korea and the complexities of international politics in Southeast Asia. Incorporating discussions of security broadly defined, political economy, development, human rights, refugees, and much more, this up-to-date text offers an introduction to Asia Pacific’s dynamic role in world politics that will encourage students to engage with contemporary issues and debates.

Derek McDougall is professor of political Science at the University of Melbourne.
Cogently written, [this book] provides an excellent introduction to East and Southeast Asia. History is used creatively to cast light on the current context in the Asia Pacific and [provide] clues about how the future could unfold. (Varun Sahni, Contemporary Southeast Asia)
McDougall provides an excellent prognosis of the likely future directions in Asia Pacific international politics.... A ‘marker book’ for recording where the US, China, and Japan stood in terms of the challenges in the Asia Pacific region between 1989 and 2006. Highly recommended. (Choice)
