“East Asia” is used here to refer to Northeast and Southeast Asian countries, reflecting the web of intra-regional political and socio-economic interactions therein.
This definition is taken from Malcolm Waters, Globalization (London: Routledge, 1995), p. 3.
Stephan Haggard, Pathways from the Periphery: The Politics of Growth in the Newly Industrializing Countries (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1990).
For discussions on “consumer sovereignty”, see Waters, ibid,. pp. 139–44.
The three monumental works that capture the essence of such debates are: Kenichi Ohmae, The Borderless World: Power and Strategy in the Interlinked economy (New York: HarperBusiness, 1992), Francis Fukyuma, The End of History and the Last Man (New York: Free Press 1992), and Samuel Huntington, The Clash of Civilization and the Remaking of the World Order (New York: Simon & Schuster 1996).
See, for example, David A. Smith, Dorothy J. Solinger and Steven C. Topik (eds.), States and Sovereignty in the Global Economy (London and New York: Routledge, 1999). Kris Olds, Peter Dicken, Philip F. Kelly, Lily Kong and Henry Wai-chung Yeung (eds.), Globalization and the Asia-Pacific (London and New York: Routledge, 1999).
