Description
Canvasses the current requirements of achieving and consolidating peace in the Asia-Pacific region from the perspectives of two "outsiders" in the region, Australia and Japan, who both have a large stake in the success of the process. The book explores the strategic, political, economic and cultural dimensions of peace-building, with special emphasis on APEC and ASEAN, and concludes that Japan's role as active diplomatic innovator, can be fruitfully linked. Japan's enforced strategic passivity and Australia's anxious quest for regional "enmeshment" are both seen as potential assets rather than problems in regional peace-building.
