In this much-needed and clearly-written new textbook, Michael Yahuda analyses the complex development of international politics in the region from 1945-1995, focusing on the influences that have shaped its political geography. Examining the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, against the background of the Cold War, he highlights how superpower relations were reflected in local struggles and shows the interplay between international, regional and local politics, charting the changing alignments of the major powers and the local political consequences. The study concludes with an assessment of the post Cold War uncertainties that have eroded Asia-Pacific self confidence, such as the possible threat from China and doubts about the United States' desire to continue its stabilizing role, in an area in which it has proved difficult to establish a basis for regional order.
