Cooperation or rivalry?

Description

The fundamental purpose of this multivolume series is to broaden conceptual perspectives for the study of Latin America. This effort responds to a perception of need. Latin America cannot be understood in isolation from other parts of the world. This has always been so; it is especially true in the contemporary era. Accordingly, the goal of this series is to demonstrate the desirability and the feasibility of analyzing Latin America in comparative perspective, in conjunction with other regions, and in global perspective, in the context of worldwide processes. A subsidiary purpose is to establish a bridge between Latin American "area studies" and mainstream social science disciplines, to the mutual benefit of both. Ultimately, the intent is to explore and emphasize intellectual challenges posed by dynamic changes within Latin America and in its relation to the international arena. This volume, Cooperation or Rivalry? Regional Integration in the Americas and the Pacific Rim, examines the relationship between regional integration schemes in the Americas and in the Pacific Rim, thus promoting the comparative analysis of Latin America and East Asia within a global perspective.
