"Old and New Conflicts: Japan and the Great Powers" Tsuneo Akaha, Ph.D., at Creighton University

"Old and New Conflicts: Japan and the Great Powers, " by Tsuneo Akaha, Ph.D., director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, Calif.

Akaha offers an overview of the historical and contemporary developments and the old and new conflicts they have spawned involving Japan and other great powers in the region and the prospects for resolving the most serious among them. Regional events that have had important impacts in East Asia in recent years include China's spectacular rise, nuclear and missile development in North Korea, the Asian financial crisis, the deepening economic integration driven by marketforces, and the growing multilateral security cooperation centered around The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as well as the impact of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the coastal communities in northeast Japan triggering a nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture.
