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
