International Relations of the Asia-Pacific

Four Volume Set
Edited by:


March 2010 | 1 608 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
The contemporary importance of the Asia-Pacific region in international relations has generated a very large and diverse academic literature. This four-volume set brings together for the first time a collection of essential articles covering the key themes and issues since the end of the Cold War. It examines the ways in which the region understands its place in the world and how the rest of the world understands the 'Asia Pacific', before turning to matters of security, international political economy and regional governance.

Volume I: Theorizing International Relations: Asia Views the World and the World Views Asia

Volume II: International Relations in Practice: Securities Old and New

Volume III: The International Political Economy of Development in East Asia

Volume IV: Regions and Regionalism

Series description:

The SAGE Library of International Relations brings together the most influential and field-defining articles, both classical and contemporary, in a number of key areas of research and inquiry in International Relations.

Each multi-volume set represents a collection of the essential published works collated from the foremost publications in the field by an editor or editorial team of renowned international stature.

They also include a full introduction, presenting a rationale for the selection and mapping out the discipline's past, present and likely future.

This series is designed to be a 'gold standard' for university libraries throughout the world with an interest in International Relations.
