Today, the world believes that Century has arrived. Yet from China's slumping economy to war clouds over the South China Sea and from environmental devastation to demographic crisis, Asia's future is increasingly uncertain. Historian and geopolitical expert Michael Auslin argues that far from being a cohesive powerhouse, Asia is a fractured region threatened by stagnation and instability. Here, he provides a comprehensive account of the economic, military, political, and demographic risks that bedevil half of our world, arguing that Asia, working with the United States, has a unique opportunity to avert catastrophe - but only if it acts boldly. Bringing together firsthand observations and decades of research, Auslin's provocative reassessment of Asia's future will be a must?'read for industry and investors, as well as politicians and scholars, for years to come. 606 $aNational security$zAsia 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General$2bisacsh 607 $aAsia$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 676 $a950.4/2 700 $aAuslin$b Michael R., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0708881 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157410203321 996 $aThe End of the Asian Century$92857342 997 $aUNINA
