Asia-Pacific Review analyzes global political, economic, security, energy, and environmental issues, with specific emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region, providing readers with excellent insights on a variety of crucial topics. Articles are written by leading scholars, diplomats, politicians, and businessmen - people who are involved in important decisions that affect the Asia-Pacific region as it faces the twenty-first century. Asia-Pacific Review was launched in 1994 by the Institute for International Policy Studies (IIPS), an independent, non-profit research institute in Tokyo founded by former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. The Institute examines critical issues facing the world and Japan from an independent standpoint and with a global perspective. It organizes and sponsors a number of conferences in Japan and abroad, and works with other institutes in Europe and the United States to conduct joint research projects. The editors welcome scholarly contributions concerning the political, economic, environment, and security issues that affect the world and the international community, and in particular papers that focus on how these issues affect the Asia-Pacific region.New to Carfax in 1999
