]IGovernance in the Asia-Pacific is a student-friendly textbook which examines the governance of nation states in this diverse and rapidly-changing region. It sets out the range of political beliefs and styles that flourish and the similarities and differences between individual states and the ways in which they choose to govern. Wide-ranging in scope and clearly written to help students get to the bottom of important issues, the book addresses many key areas including:
* the Anglo-American powers
* Japan
* independence movements
* the politics of economic development
* social movements
* the politics of the environment
* the pressures for political change in the region.
And these issues are all analysed within the broad context of governance in the Asia-Pacific more generally. The authors also identify factors which explain the political underpinning of the dramatic economic development in the region.

Industry Reviews
This book is informative about a wide number of issues that include economic, social, and environmental policies, as well as political authoritarianism and democracy... The authors demonstrate a sophisticated awareness of the difference between the various nations with their very diverse cultures and historical backgrounds. The analysis is based on the wide range of scholarly expertise of the authors... The best of the chapters is chapter 6. The book is student-friendly. Roger Thompson, U of New South Wales in Journal of World History, Spring 2000.
