How will they conduct themselves in world politics? How will they deploy their considerable and growing power individually and collectively? These questions are critical for global governance. Conventional wisdom claims that, lacking in institutions that accumulate and coordinate the massive economic and growing military strength of Asian nations, the Asian region will continue to punch below its weight in world politics; thin and patchy institutionalization results in political weakness. In \u003ci\u003eAsian Designs\u003c\/i\u003e, Saadia M. Pekkanen and her collaborators question and provide evidence on these core assumptions of Western scholarship. The book advances a new framework for debate and sophisticated examinations of institutional arrangements for several major issue areas in the world ordersecurity, trade, environment, and public health.Contributors\u003cbr\u003eVinod K.

Well written, the entire collection moves along smoothly and comes to an articulate and satisfying conclusion, with informed suggestions for future research. Instead of offering a reiteration of existing knowledge, it offers new insights and evidence into explaining current forms of Asian governance and makes valuable steps toward understanding and predicting future governing forms.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Erin Zimmerman * H-Diplo, H-Net Reviews *","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409318027607,"sku":"9781501700521","price":23.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501700521.jpg?v=1730506400","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/asian-designs-9781501700521","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
