Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific
Critical Studies of the Asia Pacific showcases new research and scholarship on what is arguably the most important region in the world in the twentyfirst century. The rise of China and the continuing strategic importance of this dynamic economic area to the United States mean that the AsiaPacific will remain crucially important to policymakers and scholars alike. The unifying theme of the series is a desire to publish the best theoretically-informed, original research on the region. Titles in the series cover the politics, economics and security of the region, as well as focusing on its institutional processes, individual countries, issues and leaders.
