Produktbeschreibung

This volume sheds new light on the much-neglected topic of current and potential relations between East Asia and Latin America. The contributors contend that close cooperation between peoples and governments of these two areas is feasible and desirable_and indeed that it could have beneficial effects on the shaping of a new world order in the face of globalization and in the wake of 9/11. A genuinely comparative set of essays examines economic and political similarities, differences, and connections between East Asia and Latin America; a concluding chapter suggests practical ways to strengthen ties between the two regions. By bringing together original work by senior scholars and professional experts from both regions, the book offers an authoritative, comprehensive, and provocative set of perspectives.
