Asia, a Civilization in the Making, Masakazu Yamazaki, Foreign Affairs, July/August 1996. According to Masakazu Yamazaki, modernity is the force that will bring about the convergence of East and West in the Pacific Basin region. Born in the West, modernity has radically transformed both East and West in this century. In order to have historical relevance, the Pacific sphere must, and it is hoped that it will, serve as a transitional stronghold, helping to overcome fanatic nationalism and fundamentalism in all its forms. 2. Controlling Economic Competition in the Pacific Rim, Charles W. Kegley Jr., USA Today Magazine (Society for the Advancement of Education), May 1998. China, Japan, and the United States are the big three economic powers in the Pacific Rim, and they must learn to cooperate economically, politically, and militarily if prosperity is to succeed. A unified collective spirit in the Pacific Rim, and in the entire global system in the twenty-first century, is the responsibility of these big three powers. 3. How Asia Went from Boom to Gloom, Andrew Z. Szamosszegi, The World & I, May 1998. Due to the recent East Asian economic crisis, many countries must reform the economic systems that lifted them from poverty to near prosperity. (Part contents)
