Modern focus on the Asia Pacific has centred on its rapid transformation in the span of a mere two decades. Since the 1997 economic crisis however, attention has now turned to transition issues as the region faces the challenge of global structural transformation that has and will affect the direction of the region's long-term development. Drawing from a range of contributors from several disciplines, this book seeks to capture some of the multifaceted dimensions of these transitions as the region adjusts to new global realities.
