Summary
This book shows how political speech acts carry consequences in diplomatic relations. Focusing on interactions between the United States and Southeast Asian countries, the author shows that often the more powerful country does not get its way. American foreign policy is usually viewed as being uncompromising and hegemonic, but in reality, it strikes agreements and compromises on a regular basis. One would assume that the wealthier, more powerful country would always get its way. This study shows that smaller countries with little or no bargaining power can benefit from relations with the Unite

Summary
"In the early 1960s, Britain and the United States were still trying to come to terms with the powerful forces of indigenous nationalism unleashed by the Second World War. The Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation--a crisis which was, as Macmillan remarked to Kennedy, 'as dangerous a situation in South East Asia as we have seen since the war'--was a complex test of Anglo-American relations. As American commitment to Vietnam accelerated under the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, Britain was involving herself in an 'end-of-empire' exercise in statebuilding which had important military and political implications for both nations. Matthew Jones provides a detailed insight into the origins, outbreak and development of this important episode in international history; using a large range of previously unavailable archival sources, he illuminates the formation of the Malaysian federation, Indonesia's violent opposition to the new state and the Western powers' attempts to deal with the resulting conflict."--Publisher's description.

Summary
By drawing on alternative theoretic approaches - most especially 'balance-of-threat' theory, political economic theory, and theories surrounding regime survival in multilateral rather than bilateral contexts - the author of this book creates an explanation of what is in motion in East Asia that differs widely from the traditional 'strategic vision' of national interest. He concludes that China's primary international relations aim is not to match U.S. military might or the foreign policy influence which flows from that power, and that its neighbours are not balancing against its rising power.

Summary
"For half a century, ten dynamic nations in Southeast Asia have been implementing a shared vision of economic growth, sustainable development, and cultural progress. Today, the economies of those nations are linked inextricably with the future of greater Asia as well as with the United States and the other Western countries. With authoritarianism and protectionism on the rise around the world and the catastrophic effects of global warming making action urgent, the nations that form the Association of Southeast Asia Nations are more relevant and under greater political and social stress than ever. In these illuminating pages, David Carden, the first American resident ambassador to ASEAN, paints a vivid portrait of the regional and global cooperation required to meet today, and interconnected future. Carden takes us behind the scenes as the leaders of these ten nations work to prepare their countries and their region for the 21st century. Carden persuasively argues that the unfolding story of the ASEAN nations is a story for the entire world that we are all increasingly interdependent and confronted with the existential need to solve the same set of challenges"--

Summary
At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. government enlisted the aid of a select group of psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists to blueprint enemy behavior. Not only did these academics bring sophisticated concepts to what became a project of demonizing communist societies, but they influenced decision-making in the map rooms, prison camps, and battlefields of the Korean War and in Vietnam. With verve and insight, Ron Robin tells the intriguing story of the rise of behavioral scientists in government and how their potentially dangerous, "American" assumptions about human behavio.

Summary
"As the United States' global image shifted during the 1990s and 2000s, so too did anti-American dynamics. This shift in image - a deterioration, as Ed Schatz puts it - was not only watched by social mobilizers, radical Islamist leaders, and labor organizers, but integrated into a new schema used to frame the grievances of American imperialism's victims. Schatz traces the progressive deepening of anti-American sentiment in post-Soviet central Asia using the lens of symbolic politics. Drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative data, he demonstrates how changing public attitudes can have significant sociopolitical consequences. He bypasses the direct link between public opinion and policymaking and instead focuses on the link between public opinion and popular mobilization; the development of this relationship empowers some social actors and disempowers others. This book illustrates how anti-Americanism in central Asia is best described not as a rising tide that swamps, nor as a rapidly spreading fire that engulfs, but as a gradual progression mounting slowly, but powerfully, toward a politically combustible movement"--

Summary
""China Among Unequals"" presents asymmetry theory, a new paradigm for the study of international relations, derived from China's relationships with its neighbors and the world. The first collection of its kind, it brings together key writings on the theory and its applications to China's basic foreign policy, particularly towards the United States and the rest of Asia. Starting with an exploration of the general theory of asymmetry, with particular attention given to such topics as human rights, soft power, regionalism, and asymmetric wars, the book then moves on to the fundamentals of China'

Summary
What explains the perception of Asians both as economic exemplars and as threats? America's Asia explores a discursive tradition that affiliates the East with modern efficiency, in contrast to more familiar primitivist forms of Orientalism. Colleen Lye traces the American stereotype of Asians as a "model minority" or a "yellow peril"--Two aspects of what she calls "Asiatic racial form"--to emergent responses to globalization beginning in California in the late nineteenth century, when industrialization proceeded in tandem with the nation's neocolonial expansion beyond its continental frontier.
