Description:

"This collection of articles aims to look at the evolving China-Southeast Asia relationship in both a global and regional perspective. It succeeds better in the latter respect than in the former. The collection relies to a large degree on the opening chapter for its 'global perspective'. Wang Gungwu canters very widely and historically over the interactions between China, Southeast Asia and the USA. He argues that the US commitment to the region has increased since 9/11, through new alliances and a greater wilingness to intervene, forged in the context of the war on terror. Jurgen Haacke's contribution is lengthy, but fully justified in that it provides an excellent review of what the author suggests is a relative neglected field -- China's relations with individual ASEAN countries" (Asian Affairs).
