Highlights
The connections world: the future of Asian capitalism / Simon Commander, Saul Estrin. Cambridge, United Kingdom; New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 2022.
Call no: HD69 S8C73
“A central feature of modern Asia that trumps differences in economic and political systems is the web of close relationships running between and within business and politics; the connections world. These networks facilitate highly transactional interactions yielding significant reciprocal benefits. Although the connections world has not as yet seriously impeded Asia’s economic renaissance, it comes with significant costs and fallibilities. The authors argue that if Asia’s claim to the 21st century is not to be derailed, major changes must be made to policy and behaviour so as to cut away the foundations of the connections world and promote more sustainable economic and political systems.” — Publisher.
Pacific power paradox: American statecraft and the fate of the Asian peace / Van Jackson. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2023.
Call no: DS33.4 U6J12
“After more than a century of recurring conflict, the countries of the Asia-Pacific region have managed something remarkable: avoiding war among nations. Since 1979, Asia has endured threats, near-miss crises, and nuclear proliferation but no interstate war. How fragile is this “Asian peace,” and what is America’s role in it?” –Publisher.
