  • Asian-Pacific Rim Logistics
    Book Reviews also bow, at the outset, to the spirits of political and diplomatic theories (constructivism, neorealism, even Kahneman’s prospect theory, etc.) before moving on to the more interesting task of calling regional developments as they see them. These are quibbles for what is an informed and insightful reflection on some of the key dynamics shaping Asia and its place in the world. The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Joseph Caron ASIAN-PACIFIC RIM LOGISTICS: Global Context and Local Policies. By Peter J. Rimmer. Northampton, MA; Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar, 2014. xxiv, 522 pp. (Illustrations, maps.) US$180.00, cloth. ISBN 978-1-84720-628-2. While there have been many books written about the rise of the Asian economy, none before this one have focused on the key transportation and logistics challenges facing the Asian-Pacific Rim in the twenty-first century. Transportation geographer Peter Rimmer provides a grand synthesis of the region’s supply chain needs and discusses how national transport policies are responding to the growth of a region that stretches from eastern Russia in the north to the Indonesian archipelago in the south and which encompasses China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. What is at stake is that due to the elongated geography of the Asian-Pacific region, together with its decentralized production and service hubs and the difficulties of shipping, air transport, and so on, the costs of logistics are inherently more expensive here than in Europe and North America. “A seamless Asian-Pacific Rim is still a long way from reality” (15).

    APF Round Table, April 14, 2010 _____________________________________________________ 1 EMERGING REGIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE ASIA PACIFIC Speaking Notes for a Round Table: Asian regional integration What emerging regional Asian architecture? No debate on Asian regional integration can begin without acknowledging past policies, initiatives and outright invasions in order to draw or force the nations of Asia together. Some examples of this are quite distant in time. Various Chinese dynasties famously organized a Tribute System of adjacent states, including some not so near (e.g. Ryukyu Islands), offering a first regional integration model, centered on China. Late 19th century Indian and Japanese intellectuals, notably promoted a spiritual, anti-materialist ‘Pan-Asianism’, views most famously advanced by Nobel prize winner Rabindranath Tagore and his friend Okakura Tenshin. Japanese imperialists promoted an entirely self-serving and ultimately disastrous Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, which, among many other consequences, put paid to any notion that regional integration could be led by one country alone. The United States build the South East Asia Treaty Organization after WWII, seeking to parallel the North Atlantic version, with much less success. APF Round Table, April 14, 2010 _____________________________________________________ 2 Good ideas have a life of their own But ideas favouring a cooperation framework, leading to various models of integration fails to disappear, even as no single vision has succeeded in taking hold. Since the 1960s onward, the debates on integration began by acknowledging the vast differences – historical, cultural, geographic – between Asia and the variously defined ‘West’, and thus suggesting that there were unbridgeable limits on the extent of centripetal dynamics that could underpin productive pan-Asian cooperation.
