| Description: | This book attempts to elucidate the complex and little-known history of western intervention in the Asia-Pacific region, providing information critical to understanding contemporary developments there. Today the Asia-Pacific region stands on the verge of major change, with centuries of western dominated regional order being seriously challenged and quite possibly nearing its end. The emergence of a potential new order dominated by regional rather than extra-regional powers - an Asia for the Asiatics in the words of Japan''s pan-Asian scholars - means it is now more than ever essential to understand the history of the current western-dominated system, the full implications should it continue and the nature of the West''s intentions towards the region. This book undertakes the task of elucidating the complex and little-known history of western intervention in the Asia-Pacific, providing information critical to understanding contemporary developments |
