As part of a larger study of security in Northeast Asia by the University of California and Tokyo University, political scientists show how relations between states in the region are far more
comprehensible when the interactions between economies and security and considered simultaneously. They also use the empirical evidence to shed light on the link between economics and security
in general. In sections on geographical interfaces, functional interfaces, and structures for economic cooperation and conflict management, they consider such topics as the security
consequences of China-Taiwan economic integration, the North Korean economy and international society, bolstering economic independence despite bullying memories, regional institutions and the
economic-security nexus, and trilateral dialogue. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
