Regional Cooperation and Its Enemies in Northeast Asia: The

Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:40 09 May 2016 Regional Cooperation and its Enemies in Northeast Asia Northeast Asia is a region of both extraordinary economic growth and dangerous tensions which could explode in war. This book examines how domestic politics in all the countries of the region – China, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea and, of course, the USA – intensifies the forces of both mutually beneficial prosperity and also war-prone tensions. It goes on to provide policy suggestions for making the better prospects more likely and the worse outcomes less likely. The book, highlighting how domestic imperatives shape foreign policies, will be an important contribution to the literature on Northeast Asian regionalism and the prospects for its future development.
