{"product_id":"9781609273170","title":"The U.S., Japan, And Asia In International Politics (Second Edition)","description":"The United States needs to understand each of the many Asian states in detail: while there are similarities, they all have situations that are difficult to compare. \u003ci\u003eThe U.S., Japan, and Asia in International Politics\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on U.S. interests in Asia in its broadest contours—from Japan, China, and the Koreas in the east; a discussion of India in the south; and also to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the west. This book also treats Russia as an Asia–Pacific power.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Andrew K. Hanami examines the economic, financial, trade, and security issue differences in the region. Washington is rushing to find a balance in its foreign policy goals among the differing Asia–Pacific states through such measures as: erecting trade corridors, enacting bilateral arrangements, deploying troops, and pursuing a cycle of encirclement and openness as the administration searches for stability and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text explores if U.S. policy is improving on the problems found in a suddenly larger Asia, or in some way compounding them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew K. Hanami\u003c\/b\u003e received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1987. He taught at the School of International Studies, Stockton, California from 1987–1990, and now teaches in the International Relations Department at San Francisco State University.
