The Making of the Asia Pacific
Knowledge Brokers and the Politics of Representation
De Aziatische Pacific van na de koude oorlog is gevormd onder invloed van belangen en ideologieën van verschillende internationale instanties. The Making of the Asia Pacific laat zien welke invloed deze visies uitoefenden en welke doelen hiermee nagestreefd werden.
Aan de hand de rol van organisaties als de Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP) en de Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC) toont de auteur de praktijken en machtsverhoudingen in het gebied. Door deze te ontrafelen streeft deze uitgave naar een democratischer ontwikkeling van deze regio.

Recensies
'This is an insightful work on a much under-studied aspect of Asia Pacific regionalism. By exposing and challenging conventional regional security narratives – and the knowledge networks from which they arise - Tan adds immeasurably to our understanding of how ideational power legitimises, normalises and buttresses a statist imaginery of the Asia Pacific.' -- Lorraine Elliott, Professor at the Department of International Relations, Australian National University
"Tan has made a valuable contribution by offering a different path towards understanding Asia-Pacific security, a path that can potentially open up new avenues for further thinking. Thive novelty is to be treasured.' -- Gerald Chan, University of Auckland, New Zealand
'The recent landmark book ... on Asia-Pacific regionalism has not only documented the upsurge in regional security narratives particularly since the post-Cold War period in the 1990s, but also compellingly shows how knowledge networking nodes were formed across the region during the same period that have made significant strategic interventions in the field of strategic studies.' -- Anup Kumar Das, Jawaharlal Nehru University
