Reviews

Andrew MacIntyre, University of California, San Diego:

Network Power brings together a rich and diverse range of scholarly approaches that will stimulate new ideas and debate.

A crucial issue in the nature of regional integration is the terms under which the integration process takes place. This edited volume explores this issue by focusing on the character of Asian regionalism and the economic, security, political and cultural aspects of Japanese power and leadership roles in Asian regionalism... The result is an excellent book that extends our empirical knowledge of network-style integration and power, and provides an exceptionally valuable springboard for further debate on this important topic.

Remarkably coherent and thoughtful.... Intellectually solid and lively essays.... Begins and ends with a bang.... Network Power contributes enormously to the field of Japanese studies.... It is must-reading for those interested not only in area studies of Japan and Asia, but also in the diverse, complex processes of regionalization and regionalism.
