Editorial Reviews

Wrapping up a five-year research project, Western political scholars consider the ramifications of the end of the Cold War for East Asia and the prospects for regional stability. In a dozen papers they cover economic and political change, the great powers, local powers, and international order and organization. The papers were last revised in late 1993.
