Politics and International Relations in Asia
About the Book Series
The rise of Asia, in particular China and India, and also Southeast Asia, has generated significant interest in these countries’ domestic politics, foreign policy behavior, and impact on international politics. There is increasing demand from scholars, students, and the general public for research that will help us better understand the rapid growth of Asia and how these changes are impacting relations between them as well as regional and international politics. This series aims to provide theoretically and empirically-informed robust research on Asia. It is interested in regionalism and regional order in Asia, and the impact of power transitions on regional order and world order. The series is also interested in cross-regional comparative studies, for instance, between Asia and Europe, Asia and Africa, Asia and Latin America. Cross-regional comparisons are less common, but can be valuable in deepening our understanding of Asia.
