Culture and Business in Asia Maureen Guirdham, formerly Director, MBA Programme, City University and Head, School of Business, Westminster University, UK

‘A very readable and interesting study on Culture and Business in Asia, which will be of considerable use to academics and practitioners interested in Asian management. It contains some original empirical field-research based on interviews with a range of managers and business-persons in their cultural and institutional settings. The study offers many insights into Asian business cultures across the region and how this has shaped the emerging economic prominence of the nations involved.’

- DR. Malcolm Warner, Emeritus Professor and Fellow, Wolfson College, Cambridge; and Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, UK Culture and Business in Asia describes and examines the links between culture and business in several Asian countries, primarily China and India, but also Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Instead of treating Asia as a unit, the author builds an accurate account of real business in distinct regions.

This volume represents the frontiers of research on this important topic.’ - Dr. Penelope B. Prime, Director, China Research Center, Mercer University, USA

A high energy New Yorker in Shanghai with a crescendo of opinions, observations, insights and assertions. Vintage China, too. A mass of contradictions and surprises.

But to the open-minded, one of life’s great experiences is living in Shanghai in this glorious period. This book brings out the vividness of the moment with astute observations for the future, developed through Tom’s unique perspective on what makes Chinese customers tick.’ - Alan Brown, Chairman, Unilever China Anyone who plans to do business in China shouldn’t get on the plane without this book.

Exchange Rates, Currency Crisis and Monetary Cooperation in Asia

Economics

The New Silk Road

Edited by Ramkishen S. Rajan, George Mason University, USA

How a Rising Arab World is Turning Away from the West and Rediscovering China

This book concentrates on exchange rates and their macroeconomic consequences, analytical and empirical issues relating to currency crises and policy responses and monetary and financial cooperation in Asia. It is truely pan-Asia-focused with chapters on China, Japan, Korea, India and Southeast Asia.

Ben Simpfendorfer, Asia and Middle East Strategist, The Royal Bank of Scotland in Hong Kong

ASIAN BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT Editor: Harukiyo Hasegawa, Doshisha University, Japan/ University of Sheffield, UK Asia’s place in the economic order has been driven by the dynamic interaction of global capital and regional and local forces. Asia offers good grounds for the study of business and management.

Currently the leading journals in the field deal with Asia by looking in from the outside. In contrast, Asian Business & Management (ABM) creates a new forum for the scholarly community by focusing upon Asia and by encouraging the interaction of Asian academics and those from beyond the region.

Just as importantly, ABM encourages the awareness of social issues in the study of business and management in Asia.

ABM seeks to raise awareness of the links and interactions between business/ management and global issues such as peace/democracy, political economy, culture/ethics, the environment, legislation, gender, labour movements and community.

‘Simpfendorfer is not just a good economist but an artful story teller who entertains as he educates.

He has written a highly readable treatment of a topic of great strategic significance. The New Silk Road is a glimpse of the future that is easy to get into and hard to put down.’ - Chas W. Freeman, Jr., former US chargé at Beijing and Ambassador to Saudi Arabia ‘Despite the global economic crisis, the trajectory of the Arab and Chinese economies still match the soaring skylines of Dubai and Shanghai... this book places the Persian Gulf back where it geographically belongs: at the center of Eurasia and bending towards the overwhelming gravity of China.’ - Parag Khanna, author of The Second World and Senior Research Fellow, New America Foundation The rise of the Arab world and China are part of the same story, once trading partners via the Silk Road. It isn’t a coincidence that Arab traders have returned to China at the same time that China is fast regaining its share of the global economy. This is a breakthrough account of how China is spurring growth in the Arab world.

China Counting

How the Chinese Economy Works

How the West Was Lost Alex Mackinnon and Barnaby Powell

‘Chinese business decisions are dependent on international and domestic forces, reflecting our corporate focus on facilitating hybrid strategies. China Counting, in extending the arguments made in China Calling, emphasizes the need for constructive engagement. As a help for those dealing with Chinese global expansion both books make thought- provoking reading.’

- Dave Heddle, Managing Director, Coverdale Management Consulting Company Limited, China A political and managerial brief on Chinese global power, this new book puts into a modern context the Chinese opportunities created by the West’s chaotic and destructive capitalism. It examines China’s attitudes towards the West, its capacity for strategic change and its plans for expanding its global influence.

China is now the global counting house, trading Western debt and cashing Western obligations – financially, socially and diplomatically. By ‘buying’ its own democratic electorate with easy credit, the West has ceded power to the Chinese.

China’s primary goal, however, is internal stability and external security, aiming neither for international dominance nor military confrontation. Its governing Party has a national mandate – of, by and for the people – a main street mandate for a resurgent China.

Mackinnon and Powell show how China is determining its destiny. This book interprets China’s policy of gradual global expansion and the alternatives it offers to open capitalism and liberal democracy. It sifts constants from variables to reveal a China positioning itself for recognition as an equal.

Intercultural Journeys: From Study to Residence Abroad explores the language and (inter) cultural development of advanced second language learners before, during and after a shortterm sojourn in the host culture. Drawing on current theories of intercultural (communicative) and global competences, it examines ethnographic case studies of learners who experienced different trajectories. The findings raise awareness of the multifarious internal and external factors that can influence sojourn outcomes. Linking theory with the actual experience of sojourners, the author suggests innovative ways to enhance language and intercultural learning both at home and abroad.

While the case studies focus on the linguistic and intercultural development and identity (re) construction of Chinese sojourners, elements of their stories reach across ethnic, linguistic, and geographic lines and resonate with L2 learners in other parts of the world. The book provides a valuable reference for international educators, second language specialists, interculturalists, study abroad professionals, adult educators, and sojourners.

Asian Empire and British Knowledge China and the Networks of British Imperial Expansion Ulrike Hillemann, Head of International Strategy and Partnerships, Imperial College London, UK

’A timely and innovative analysis of the ways in which British interests engaged with, represented and ‘manufactured’ China’ for British metropolitan consumption during the nineteenth century. It expands our knowledge of British imperial networks and activities in new and vital directions and points to significant legacies of the West’s colonial engagement with the East.’- Alan Lester, University of Sussex, UK British knowledge about China changed fundamentally in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Rather than treating these changes in British understanding as if Anglo-Sino relations were purely bilateral, this study looks at how British imperial networks in India and Southeast Asia were critical mediators in the British encounter of China.

U.S.-China Relations in the “Asia-Pacific” Century

Europe and Asia

‘The Chinese Century’?

Regions in Flux

The Challenge to Global Order

S. Mahmud Ali, Asia-Pacific Regional Analyst with the BBC World Service, UK

Edited by Philomena Murray, University of Melbourne, Australia

This book traces the evolution of post-Cold War relations between China and the US, focusing on their often conflicting efforts to achieve economic growth, military prowess and technological sophistication. Adopting a dual approach with equal emphasis on Beijing and Washington, it sheds new light on the relationship between the countries.

Much more than a simple examination of EU-Asia relations, this book examines the idea that the EU may constitute a ‘model’ for East Asian regionalism.

It challenges specialists on the EU to understand the EU’s impact on Asia and Asia’s impact on the EU whilst illustrating that there is a commonality of interests in both Europe and Asia.

Asia’s Giants Comparing China and India Edited by Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA and Bruce Gilley, Princeton University, USA

Palgrave Macmillan is proud to introduce a new series: Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific edited by Professor Mark Beeson

This book explores the Japanese notion of hakanasa - the evanescence of all things. Responses to this idea have been various and even contradictory: asceticism, fatalism, conformism, hedonism, materialism, and careerism. This book examines the ties between an epistemology of constant change and Japan’s formal emphasis on etiquette and visuality.

‘The affinities between Kierkegaard’s thought and elements in Japanese religion, philosophy, and culture have long been noted. Until now, however, the relationship has rarely been subjected to sustained scrutiny -at least, not in Western literature. This collection therefore makes a unique and truly important contribution to a discussion that will enrich both Kierkegaard studies and the wider cause of dialogue between Japanese and Western philosophy.’ - George Pattison, University of Oxford, UK, author of The Philosophy of Kierkegaard April 2008 Hardback
