East Asia is a potential area of international conflict, with a number of possible 'flashpoints' and with the absence of strong regional organisations able to deal with conflict resolution. At the same time, global powers frequently get involved in the international politics of the region in order to protect their interests. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the geopolitics of the region. It focuses in particular on the way geographical and historical forces continue to play a key role in shaping international relations here. It considers the role of both regional and internationa

A team of international leading experts provide a much needed re-examination of the theoretical claims and the empirical foundation of developmental state theory. Asian States argues that regardless of the merits of the developmental state as an explanation of economic growth, it falls far short of being an adequate theory of the state in Asia. The contributors critically review claims about agency, state-society and state-market relations that shape developmental projects. It broadens the analysis of state involvement in developmental projects and considers the variety of political a

Dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, la Cochinchine, le Tonkin et l’Annam sont devenus propriété de la France et objet d’étude pour les savants français. Venus à l’école française par choix ou sous la contrainte, les Vietnamiens découvrent une nouvelle civilisation. Dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, les lettrés et les intellectuels mènent une réflexion systématique sur l’homme en société et sur l’altérité, en puisant dans les écrits anciens et en appliquant les méthodes scientifiques occidentales. Au sein de l’École française d’Extrême-Orient, institution officielle chargée de la recherche en Indochine, les Vietnamiens accèdent au statut de membre scientifique. Nguyễn Văn Huyên, membre de l’EFEO jusqu’en 1945, représente un cas exemplaire des échanges entre l’orientalisme français et la société vietnamienne qui a ses enjeux propres liée à la domination coloniale. Dans le Vietnam indépendant, l’anthropologie sera au programme de la nouvelle université dès l’année 1945-1946. Au Vietnam, l’anthropologie est ainsi née au confluent des trois traditions intellectuelles : la France, le Vietnam et la Chine.

"Taking both a historical and a comparative view, Perkins explores the nature of economic growth in East Asia. He focuses on ten sites in East and Southeast Asia that achieved a substantial degree of economic success: China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Secondarily, he discusses the failures in growth of other countries in the region, notably the Philippines. He analyzes why several of the economies of East and Southeast Asia have achieved rates of growth seldom witnessed elsewhere in the world (with a few exceptions); why some of the economies in the region have done better than the others; and why the richest economies eventually have all slowed down. He examines income distribution and the places where income inequality resulted. In looking into the sources for the high rate of growth, he analyzes how these economies and societies transformed the living standards of most their citizens"--

Why do some societies fare well, and others poorly, at reducing the risk of early death? Wealth, Health, and Democracy in East Asia and Latin America finds that the public provision of basic health care and other inexpensive social services has reduced mortality rapidly even in tough economic circumstances, and that political democracy has contributed to the provision and utilization of such social services, in a wider range of ways than is sometimes recognized. These conclusions are based on case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, as well as on cross-national comparisons involving these cases and others.
