Manoa’s Vincent
Pollard published Globalization, Democratization
and Asian Leadership. This book focuses on the Philippines
and Japan where, willingly and unwillingly, foreign policy executives
share power with individuals and groups inside and outside of
government bureaucracies and their societies.
The foreign policies of presidents, prime ministers and their foreign secretaries
can be influenced by the preferences of domestic and international non-governmental
actors, as well as those of other governments. Representative democracy, media
power, citizen activism and the globalization of politics and telecommunications,
for example, have accelerated changes in the sharing of power.
Globalization retells the foreign policy narratives
of regional cooperation, military relations and official development
assistance (foreign aid), revealing how executive foreign policy
makers and civil society organizations share power—and
succeed or fail—in a globalizing, democratizing world.
A variety of published, unpublished and declassified sources
provide journalists, scholars, government practitioners and
global citizens with a sophisticated understanding of the domestic
politics of foreign policy making, as well as its intergovernmental
and transnational side.
Globalization, Democratization and Asian Leadership is
available from the Ashgate's
Web site.
