China, The United States, and the Future of Southeast Asia U.S.-China Relations, Volume II

"The authors contributing to this book provide expert critical analyses of the domestic and international political, economic and strategic forces reshaping the Southeast Asia international order. The book is timely as Southeast Asia adjusts to Chinas growing power and influence and hedges against the unknowns of American policy." - Donald E. Weatherbee,Russell Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of South Carolina "A timely and valuable resource for policy makers, investors, think tankers and students alike. With globalization under scrutiny and protectionist sentiment rising in the US and Europe, Southeast Asia deserves the careful attention paid by David Denoon and his colleagues. Tightly organized and edited, this comprehensive collection is a cornucopia of information and analysis covering the political diversity, economic advantages, institutional architecture and the forces of integration at work in the region, as well as the future challenges it faces." - Nicholas Platt,President Emeritus, Asia Society; former US Ambassador, Philippines, Pakistan, and Zambia "Denoon combines extensive knowledge of Southeast Asia and China and has organized a superb collection of essays comparing the current role of China and the United States in this volatile region. This volume explores economic, strategic, and domestic political issues with authors from all the key countries concerned, so the reader has the advantage of competing perspectives as well. This is an outstanding volume for both the policy and academic communities." - Richard H. Solomon,Senior Fellow at the RAND Corporation and former President of the U.S. Institute of Peace
