The Oxford Handbook of the International Relations of Asia
Edited by Saadia M. Pekkanen, John Ravenhill, and Rosemary Foot
Comprehensive collection of original chapters by leading authors in the field
Unusual in covering the whole of Asia-including Central and South Asia as well as Northeast and Southeast Asia
Up-to-date discussion of contemporary theorizing in international relations and its relevance to Asia
Chapters on functional topics across the whole region, e.g., foreign direct investment, trade, territorial and maritime disputes, energy security, human rights, health security, alliances, regional architecture, as well as detailed consideration of the major countries in individual chapters
In the past quarter century, the importance of Asia in international relations has grown exponentially. This Handbook gathers the most important scholars in the field of Asia's international relations to address this momentous change in world politics. The editors and contributors focus on three basic themes: assessing appropriate theories for explaining the evolution of the international relations of Asian countries within the region and with the rest of the world; tracing the recent history of Asia in world politics; and focusing on emerging trends. The Handbook brings readers the latest scholarship on the bilateral, regional, and global relations of Asian countries in the fields of political economy, national security, and human security.
Comprehensive in theme, breadth, and methodology, this Handbook is a timely addition to the existing literature on the changes currently underway in Asian countries that promise to have significant implications for world politics.
