The Resurgence of East Asia cover

The East Asian expansion since the 1960s stands out as a global power shift with few historical precedents. The Resurgence of East Asia examines the rise of the region as one of the world's economic power centres from three temporal perspectives: 500 years, 150 years and 50 years, each denoting an epoch in regional and world history and providing a vantage point against which to assess contemporary developments.

"This is an ambitious volume that brings together a group of distinguished historians, sinologists and sociologists...This volume is a valuable contribution to the important 'Great Divergence' debate especially by incorporating a much-needed regional perspective."--EH.Net, Feb 2005
