The profound effects of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis encompass more than economic concerns. Throughout Asia Pacific the crisis prompted a reassessment of governance, values, social safety structures, the commitment of the United States to the region, and the value of such institutions as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. In this book, six authors from the region present a policy-relevant blueprint for the future by examining both past experience and current challenges. An overview chapter presents a general assessment of the social, political, economic and cultural changes affecting the region. Individual chapters address such specific topics as establishing a new security order for the region, the significance of information technology, the state of trade and investment regimes, sustainable development, demographic challenges, governance and institutional challenges and opportunities.
