| Abstract
|
:
|
The two major conflicts of the Cold War era were fought in Korea and Vietnam, pointing to the economic and political importance of the Asia-Pacific to the competing superpowers. In recent years the area has emerged as a force in international politics in its own right and has acquired a new self confidence that has found expression in astonishing economic achievement. Michael Yahuda analyzes the complex development of international politics in the region from 1945-1995, focusing on the influences that have shaped its political geography. Examining the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam against that of the Cold War, this study highlights how superpower relations were reflected in local struggles and shows the interplay between international, regional and local politics, charting the changing alignments of the major powers and the local political consequences. The book concludes with an assessment of the post Cold War uncertainties that have eroded Asia-Pacific self confidence such as the possible threats from China and doubts about the US's desire to continue its stabilizing role.
