Riassunto

Understanding the complexity of this diverse and dynamic region is difficult at best for the experts, who have put decades of work into understanding languages and cultures at depth. For those with little or no experience with China, Japan, Korea or any of the ASEAN member states the region is loaded with questions and very few answers about religion, gender relations, societal structures, or even political institutions. This collection of 14 interrelated papers aid outsiders in understanding the geographic, historical, economic, and political contexts along with the region's past and present international relations, military and security issues, concerns for the environment within development, population and increasing urbanization, ethnicity, the role of women in development, religion and modern literature. The final paper is particular interesting as it describes future trends and prospects in geography, society and external relations. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
