In “Asia-Pacific. International Cooperation Between Cold War 1.0 and 2.0”, Dr. Stanisław Kozłowski of SWPS University examines the political, economic, and strategic forces shaping the region’s development. The book explores the growing global significance of Asia and the Pacific, highlighting the role of international cooperation and the shifting balance of geopolitical and economic power.
Asia and the Pacific at the center of global change
Many observers see Asia and the Pacific as a key focus of global attention in the twenty-first century. This growing importance reflects a broader shift in geopolitical and economic influence away from the Euro-Atlantic world toward Asia.
The book examines how strategic, political, and economic cooperation has shaped the region’s development, from the end of Cold War 1.0 to the beginning of Cold War 2.0. The scope and direction of this cooperation, as well as the major players participating in it, have contributed to the overall result, which places the region at the forefront in terms of its share of global GDP.
This book is an updated version of a monograph published in 2022. By releasing the book in English, the author aims to reach an international audience, including policymakers shaping Asia-Pacific strategies, as well as scholars and students of international relations.
