Description
Michael Dobbs-Higginson professes to be neither an academic nor an economist. Instead Asia Pacific: A View on its Role in the New World Order is written from his extensive first- hand, personal and business experience of the region, supported by relevant statistics and tempered by his philosophy of balance and equilibrium.
Asia Pacific exists as part of a world that is in an extreme state of change. The disintegration of communist regimes has meant that the traditional rivalries between the superpowers are no longer relevant and that a different set of forces is emerging to determine the new world order. He believes that the criterion for establishing the new world order will now have primarily to grow out of resolving the friction relating to international trade and commerce between the three current powerful trading communities: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It is his primary concern that the countries of Asia Pacific should develop a common regional forum in order to establish itself as an effective, major force in the global community, and thus create a balanced counterpoint to the EC and NAFTA. Through Asia Pacific: A View on its Role in the New World Order Michael Dobbs-Higginson hopes to pass on his vision of a global future in which a united Asia Pacific has a crucial role to play.
