Te Institutional
ImperativeTe Politics o Equitable Developmentin Southeast Asia
Erik Kuhonta
Why do some countries in thedeveloping world achieve growthwith equity, while others donot? I democracy is the sup-posed panacea or the develop-ing world, why have SoutheastAsian democracies had suchuneven results? In exploringthese questions, political sci-entist Erik Martinez Kuhontaargues that the realization o equitable development hingesheavily on strong institutions,particularly institutionalized
political parties and cohesiveinterventionist states, and onmoderate policy and ideology.
“This boldly comparative book
will be widely read, widely as-
signed, and widely debated in
the eld. There are ew compa-
rable works out there. Kuhonta’s
book should be required reading
or those interested in develop-
ment, political institutions, statebuilding, social welare policies,
and Southeast Asia.”

Becoming Asia

Alice Lyman Miller andRichard Wich
Becoming Asia oers a ascinat-ing and comprehensive accounto how the region has evolved
since World War II. Unlike exist-ing works, this student-riendly text covers South, Southeast,and Central Asia along withEast Asia. It explains how Asia,hardly more than a geographicexpression at the end o 1945,became the vibrant, asser-tive region that it is today.
“Alice Lyman Miller and Richard
Wich have done a great servicein this thorough and thoughtul

graphic scope o Becoming Asia
put it in a class by itsel among

Looking or Balance
China, the United States,and Power Balancing inEast Asia
Steve Chan
Debate surrounding “China’s rise,”and the prospects o its possiblechallenge to America’s preemi-nence in international relationsin East Asia, has ocused on
two questions, rooted in power-balancing theory: whether theUnited States should “contain”or “engage” China; and whetherthe rise o Chinese power hasinclined other East Asian statesto “balance” against Beijing by alignment with the United States.
By drawing on alternative theoreticapproaches, Steve Chan is able to
create an explanation o what is inmotion in the region that dierswidely rom the traditional “stra-tegic vision” o national interest.
“Compellingly argues or serious
change in prevalent American or-
eign policy thinking about power
dynamics in world aairs, and thus
or how to deal with China and
East Asia. It should cool the zealots
or additional U.S. pursuit o mili-tary dominance in distant regions.”

Tis book develops a ramework that shows the interdependencebetween economic size, trade, -nance, technology, environment,security, and global governance.Author Carl J. Dahlman uses thisramework to provide data on
the speed o global power shisand to trace the implications ornations worldwide. Analyzingthis critical moment in historicalcontext, he oers insights intoour most pressing concerns.
“A number o authors have looked

presented in The World Under Pressure and the amount o in-
ormation that Dahlman weaves
together make this work a dis-
tinctive and worthy read.”

Rethinking
Japanese PublicOpinion andSecurity From Pacismto Realism?
Paul Midord
Paul Midord engages claimsthat since 9/11 Japanese pub-
lic opinion has turned sharply away rom pacism and towardsupporting normalization o Japan’s military power. He arguesthat Japanese public opinionhas never embraced pacism.It has, instead, contained sig-nicant elements o realism, inthat it has acknowledged theutility o military power or
deending national territory and independence, but has seenoensive military power asineective or promoting othergoals. On this basis, says Mid-ord, we should re-conceptualizeJapanese public opinion asattitudinal deensive realism.

Asian Rivalries
Conict, Escalation,and Limitations onwo-level GamesEdited by Sumit Ganguly and William R. Tompson
Te most typical treatment o international relations is to con-ceive it as a battle between twoantagonistic states volleying back
and orth. In reality, interstate re-lations are oen at least two-levelgames in which decision-makersoperate not only in an interna-tional environment but also ina competitive domestic context.Given that interstate rivalries areresponsible or a disproportion-ate share o discord in world pol-itics, this book sets out to explain
just how these two-level rivalries
really work. By pulling togetherthe threads laid out by eachcontributor, the editors create a
‘grounded theory’ or interstaterivalries that breaks new groundin international relations theory.
“This book provides many impor-
tant details, and thereore a num-
ber o good insights, about key
rivalries in the Asian region.”

Motivated by debates surround-ing Marcel Mauss’s Te Gif ,Bornstein investigates speciccases o people engaged in hu-manitarian work to reveal di-erent perceptions o assistanceto strangers versus assistance tokin, how the impulse to give to
others in distress is tempered by its regulation, suspicions aboutrecipient suitability, and why thegure o the orphan is so valu-able in humanitarian discourse.

Opera and the City
Te Politics o Culturein Beijing, 1770–1900
Andrea S. Goldman
In late imperial China, operawas an integral part o lie andculture, shared across the socialhierarchy. Te Qing capital o Beijing attracted a diverse array o opera genres and audiences
and, by extension, served asa hub or the diusion o cul-tural values via perormance.
By examining opera in QingBeijing, this work illuminateshow the state and variousurban constituencies partook o opera and manipulated it totheir own ends. Given Beijing’spolitical infuence, Goldman’s
analysis o opera and its ten-sions in the capital also shedslight on empire-wide transor-mations underway at the time.
“Goldman’s study o Peking opera
is thorough, convincing, and as-
cinating. It will be required read-
ing or scholars o Chinese the-
ater, late imperial culture, Qing
history, and gender studies. The
scholarship is as good as it gets.”—Catherine Swatek,

Occupying Power
Sex Workers andServicemen inPostwar Japan
Sarah Kovner
Occupying Power shows how in-timate histories and internationalrelations are interconnected inways scholars have only begunto explore. Although sex work-
ers became symbols o Japan’sdiminished status, by earningscarce dollars they helped jump-start economic recovery. But sexworkers who catered to service-men were nonetheless a requenttarget. Tis probing history re-
veals an important but underex-plored aspect o the Japanese oc-cupation and its eect on gender
and society. It seeks to shi theterms o debate on a number o controversies, including Japan’shistory o orced sexual slavery,rape accusations against U.S. ser-
vicemen, opposition to U.S. over-seas bases, and sexual tracking.
“A path-breaking work o Japa-
