Book Description

Since World War II, the United States has played a crucial role in shaping Northeast Asian politics and economics. However, as this authoritative book shows, the Cold War’s demise, September 11, and America’s major strategic realignments have unleashed seismic changes in the region. China’s rise, Japan’s quest for a normal state, and the North Korean nuclear quagmire are also potential flashpoints. Collective memories of past aggression as well as resurgent nationalism further complicate regional dynamics. But hopeful signs abound, as deepening economic interdependence, expanding social and cultural exchanges, and the proliferation of informal economic, social, and cultural networks have improved the chances for a peaceful evolution to a liberal and stable region.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“[The United States and Northeast Asia] provides a broad view of the dynamics of change in Northeast Asia.” —The Korea Times

“The chapters are uniformly smart, well written, and theoretically motivated. In short, this book is an excellent primer on general debates and major issues in Northeast Asia. . . . This book will be a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the future of Northeast Asia.” –David C. Kang, Journal of Asian Studies

“This panoramic view of a critical great-power crossroads highlights emerging issues that have the potential to shape a new regional order. It is theoretically informed, geographically comprehensive, and original in covering such themes as identity politics, management of North Korea, and types of powers in Northeast Asia. For many, its foremost strength may be clarifying the challenges the United States faces and offering guidance in narrowing the choices ahead.” –Gilbert Rozman, Princeton University
