Te Institutional

ImperativeTe Politics o Equitable Developmentin Southeast Asia

Erik Kuhonta

Why do some countries in thedeveloping world achieve growthwith equity, while others donot? I democracy is the sup-posed panacea or the develop-ing world, why have SoutheastAsian democracies had suchuneven results? In exploringthese questions, political sci-entist Erik Martinez Kuhontaargues that the realization o equitable development hingesheavily on strong institutions,particularly institutionalized

political parties and cohesiveinterventionist states, and onmoderate policy and ideology.

“This boldly comparative book

will be widely read, widely as-

signed, and widely debated in

the eld. There are ew compa-

rable works out there. Kuhonta’s

book should be required reading

or those interested in develop-

ment, political institutions, statebuilding, social welare policies,

and Southeast Asia.”

Becoming Asia

Change and Continuity in Asian InternationalRelations Since WorldWar II

Alice Lyman Miller andRichard Wich

Becoming Asia oers a ascinat-ing and comprehensive accounto how the region has evolved

since World War II. Unlike exist-ing works, this student-riendly text covers South, Southeast,and Central Asia along withEast Asia. It explains how Asia,hardly more than a geographicexpression at the end o 1945,became the vibrant, asser-tive region that it is today.

“Alice Lyman Miller and Richard

Looking or Balance

China, the United States,and Power Balancing inEast Asia

Steve Chan

Debate surrounding “China’s rise,”and the prospects o its possiblechallenge to America’s preemi-nence in international relationsin East Asia, has ocused on

two questions, rooted in power-balancing theory: whether theUnited States should “contain”or “engage” China; and whetherthe rise o Chinese power hasinclined other East Asian statesto “balance” against Beijing by alignment with the United States.

By drawing on alternative theoreticapproaches, Steve Chan is able to

create an explanation o what is inmotion in the region that dierswidely rom the traditional “stra-tegic vision” o national interest.

“Compellingly argues or serious

change in prevalent American or-

eign policy thinking about power

dynamics in world aairs, and thus

or how to deal with China and

East Asia. It should cool the zealots

or additional U.S. pursuit o mili-tary dominance in distant regions.”

Rethinking

Japanese PublicOpinion andSecurity From Pacismto Realism?

Paul Midord

Paul Midord engages claimsthat since 9/11 Japanese pub-

lic opinion has turned sharply away rom pacism and towardsupporting normalization o Japan’s military power. He arguesthat Japanese public opinionhas never embraced pacism.It has, instead, contained sig-nicant elements o realism, inthat it has acknowledged theutility o military power or

deending national territory and independence, but has seenoensive military power asineective or promoting othergoals. On this basis, says Mid-ord, we should re-conceptualizeJapanese public opinion asattitudinal deensive realism.

Asian Rivalries

Conict, Escalation,and Limitations onwo-level GamesEdited by Sumit Ganguly and William R. Tompson

Te most typical treatment o international relations is to con-ceive it as a battle between twoantagonistic states volleying back

and orth. In reality, interstate re-lations are oen at least two-levelgames in which decision-makersoperate not only in an interna-tional environment but also ina competitive domestic context.Given that interstate rivalries areresponsible or a disproportion-ate share o discord in world pol-itics, this book sets out to explain

just how these two-level rivalries

really work. By pulling togetherthe threads laid out by eachcontributor, the editors create a

‘grounded theory’ or interstaterivalries that breaks new groundin international relations theory.

“This book provides many impor-

tant details, and thereore a num-

ber o good insights, about key

rivalries in the Asian region.”

Opera and the City

Te Politics o Culturein Beijing, 1770–1900

Andrea S. Goldman

In late imperial China, operawas an integral part o lie andculture, shared across the socialhierarchy. Te Qing capital o Beijing attracted a diverse array o opera genres and audiences

and, by extension, served asa hub or the diusion o cul-tural values via perormance.

By examining opera in QingBeijing, this work illuminateshow the state and variousurban constituencies partook o opera and manipulated it totheir own ends. Given Beijing’spolitical infuence, Goldman’s

analysis o opera and its ten-sions in the capital also shedslight on empire-wide transor-mations underway at the time.

“Goldman’s study o Peking opera

is thorough, convincing, and as-

cinating. It will be required read-

ing or scholars o Chinese the-

ater, late imperial culture, Qing

history, and gender studies. The

scholarship is as good as it gets.”—Catherine Swatek,

Occupying Power shows how in-timate histories and internationalrelations are interconnected inways scholars have only begunto explore. Although sex work-

ers became symbols o Japan’sdiminished status, by earningscarce dollars they helped jump-start economic recovery. But sexworkers who catered to service-men were nonetheless a requenttarget. Tis probing history re-

veals an important but underex-plored aspect o the Japanese oc-cupation and its eect on gender

and society. It seeks to shi theterms o debate on a number o controversies, including Japan’shistory o orced sexual slavery,rape accusations against U.S. ser-

vicemen, opposition to U.S. over-seas bases, and sexual tracking.

“A path-breaking work o Japa-

nese history, this book will serve

as the base line or studies in the

history o sex work in postwarJapan or many years to come.”
