Twenty-First Century World Order and the Asia Pacific Value Change, Exigencies, and Power Realignment

Cast against the background of the global system's political volatility at the dawn of the new millennium,Twenty-First Century World Order and the Asia Pacificlooks at how some of the identifiable system-wide trends (e.g., globalization, democratization, fragmentation, etc.) may find repercussions in the region. The book also addresses the question of "comprehensive security," in comparison with other regions, in a wide range of areas including economic security (geoeconomics), environmental security (ecopolitics), and human security. In addition, the book offers a reassessment of the much touted rise of Asia, more particularly China. It discusses the possible link between this shift in the world's power configuration and the projected rise of "social justice" as a guiding force for international relations in general.Hsiung, James Chieh is the author of 'Twenty-First Century World Order and the Asia Pacific Value Change, Exigencies, and Power Realignment', published 2001 under ISBN 9780312238797 and ISBN 0312238797.
