Throughout the 1990s, conventional wisdom among U.S. scholars of international relations held that institutionalized cooperation in Europe fosters peace, while its absence from East Asia portends conflict. Developments in Europe and Asia in the 1990s contradict the conventional wisdom without discrediting it. Explanations that derive from only one paradigm or research program have shortcomings beyond their inability to recognize important empirical anomalies. International relations research is better served by combining explanatory approaches from different research traditions. > Zusammenfassung This book offers a new theoretical approach to the study of Asian security. Using case studies of China, Japan, southeast Asia, and the alliance between the United States and South Korea, it demonstrates the failure of the prevailing paradigms in international relations theory to anticipate or explain how events have unfolded in Asia.
