This introduction will serve as a 'first stop' for those interested
in Japan, its role in the Pacific Asian region and, in turn, that
region's role in the evolving global system. In this volume, P. W.
Preston critically analyses the political economy, social
institutions and culture of Pacific Asia. The analysis focuses on
Japan , it's relations with the inner periphery of Southeast Asia,
and its developing linkages with the reforming socialist countries
of China and Indo-China
The critical perspective, awareness of cultural and ethnic trends and a sophisticated grasp of social patterns makes this volume an essential introduction to the region.
