Summary

The importance of relationships in Asia has been well-documented. This volume examines the growing dynamics of multilateral partnerships for economic and political purposes. Economic relations have significantly defined the rise of the Asia-Pacific, and this volume has an excellent set of chapters assessing the future of regional economic relations through big, multilateral arrangements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership as well as other smaller, multilateral partnerships. Another group of papers looks at the important relationship between national identity and how countries pursue foreign policy. Lastly, a new leader in North Korea has made countries reassess their relationship with North Korea and develop new ways to interact with this difficult regime.
