Description:
Review Balanced yet provocative, wise yet fresh, complex yet lucid, Godement's analysis of the Asian debacle encompasses its economic, political, and cultural dimensions. The author, already recognized as one of the world's leading scholars of Asian international relations, now establishes himself as among the most insightful observers of its political economy. Americans particularly should study this book, although they will not be comforted by its condemnations of American policies.В–Michel C. Oksenberg, Stanford University Godement writes with gusto, clarity and great empathy about Pacific Asia's crisis. He is a master of imagery and analogy in telling the complex tale of the stillborn birth of the Pacific Century. His analysis will stand as a tough test for those who prophesy China's rise or Pacific Asia's ability to bounce back by itself.В–Gerald Segal, International Institute for Strategic Studies Francois Godement's penetrating analysis of the origins of the Asian economic crisis skillfully addresses economic institutions, political choices and cultural practices. He teaches us that the global economic uncertainties initiated by difficulties in Asia cannot be understood without careful attention to the parameters of political and economic decision making within the region and to the goals and policies of other major international actors. He reminds us how history can matter, if only we will listen.В–R. Bin Wong, University of California, Irvine About the Author Francois Godement is Senior Research Associate at the Institut Francais des Relations Internationales, Paris. He is author of The New Asian Renaissance (Routledge, 1997).
