The Pacific Rim of Asia – Pacific Asia – is now the world's largest and most cohesive economic region, and China has returned to its center. China's global outlook is shaped by its regional experience, first as a pre-modern Asian center, then displaced by Western-oriented modernization, and now returning as a central producer and market in a globalized region. Developments since 2008 have been so rapid that future directions are uncertain, but China's presence, population, and production guarantee it a key role. As a global competitor, China has awakened American anxieties and the US-China rivalry has become a major concern for the rest of the world. However, rather than facing a power transition between hegemons, the US and China are primary nodes in a multi-layered, interconnected global matrix that neither can control. Brantly Womack argues that Pacific Asia is now the key venue for working out a new world order.

'An articulate and innovative exploratory guide to the reemergence of a Sinocentric but politically diverse order in Pacific Asia, now the global economic center of gravity, and the systemic impacts of this on globalization and the ebbing hegemony of the West. The author's chapters are complemented by thoughtful commentaries from some of the very best scholars in the region - in Canberra, Qingdao, Singapore, and Taipei - and conclude with an insightful analysis of regional responses to Sino-American rivalry in the post-hegemonic age. Anyone interested in the rise of Pacific Asia and its likely effects on the global future will find this a most rewarding and thought-provoking read.' Chas W. Freeman, Jr, former US Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs and US Chargé d'affaires a.i. at Beijing
