This book explores the Asianization of contemporary Asia, a trend which through neoliberal economic globalism has diluted the political effect of the EuroAmerican dictated segmentation of Asia and instead facilitated and accelerated socioeconomic exchanges and collaborations among Asian nations themselves.
It comprehensively analyzes and interprets Asias Asianization in terms of intensification of intra-Asian interactions and flows in industrial, educational, sociopolitical, and ecological spheres. Through such explorations the book successfully reveals Asias Asianization is particularly reflected in the major dimensions of regional industrial integration, transnational class relations, labor market regionalization, international educational mobility, regionalization of media and pop culture, transnational social movements and activisms, regionalized social governance for development cooperation and developmental mobilization of diasporic socioeconomic resources.
As an interdisciplinary study of South Korea's industrial, social and cultural integration with other Asian societies in both outbound and inbound directions, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Korean studies, Asian politics, development and sociology.
