About this book

This book argues that East Asia's regional dynamics are no longer the result of a simple extension of any one national model.

Reviews

Brian Bridges:

The volume edited by Kazenstein and Shiraishi seeks to discuss Japan's relatioship with the newly-emerging Asian Pacific regional dynamics since the collapse of the 'bubble' in the early 1990s brought Japan to its knees. Their basic arguments is that region—making is no longer about following particular national models but rather about the emergence of a 'truly hybrid form of regionalism'. Despite the use of the word 'beyond' it is still very much a Japan-focused volume and Japan specialists will find much of interest here.

Muthiah Alagappa, Director, East-West Center Washington:

Drawing attention to certain political, social, and economic developments in Japan, this book offers important insights on the changing engagement of Japan with East Asia since the early 1990s.
