内容説明
This comparative economic history explores the major regions around the Pacific Rim. Beginning with a critique of the popular notion of a "Pacific region", paying particular attention to the role of geography and the environment, economic performance, European impacts and population distribution, the book covers the diverse indigenous development of pre-European times, later periods of direct European influence, and the evolution of modern-day urban societies in the regions. It finally analyzes the rise of the United States and Japan as regional economic powers. The historical perspective of the book throws light on the most important relationships in the region today, as well as on the prospects for future economic development and political co-operation.

内容説明
Analyzing the long-term, historical development of the major economies around the Pacific Rim in language aimed at the general reader, Coming Full Circle throws light on the most important relationships in the region today as well as on the prospects for future economic development and political cooperation. The authors begin with a critique of the popular notion of a Pacific region, paying particular attention to the influence of geography and environment on population distribution and patterns of regional economic activity. They address the diverse indigenous development of pre-European times, later periods of direct European influence, and the evolution of modern-day urban societies in the region. Finally, they track the rise of the United States and Japan as the dominant regional economic powers and forecast changes we can expect to see in the years ahead, noting in particular the increasing importance of China.
