Is this the Asian Century? How will tensions between the US and China shape global politics? Covering Asian governance, culture, and society, this book introduces: the demography and geography of major nations; key economic developments including the Asian economic miracle; rapid expansion of military spending in the region; and the question of 'Asian values'.
