Description:

“Though the notion of an "Asia Pacific Community" emerged more than a decade ago, media attention has focused on the region's dynamic economic development. Little is known abou tht ehuman dimension of this regional integration, and the actual sense of community that is being constructed by countries as vastly differend as China and Australa, Canada and Vietnam, Thailand and Japan. In fact, the ongoing process of integration has been underpinned by collaborative efforts of academic institutions, businesses, and other nongovernmental organizations. The devloping "civil society" in the Asia Pacific community reflects the growing recognition of the importance of non-economic factors amid rising economic interdependence, as well as the marked advancement of democratization, plurizatoin, and collaboration beyond national boundaries. Such cooperation has been enhanced by the rising prominence of global issues such as the environment, rural poverty, AIDS and drug addiction.

This compilation of reports by leading intellectuals and specialists from 15 Asia Pacific countries describes the activities of the region's research institutions, philanthropic foundations, and other organizations. It also assesses the present state of regional interactions between private institutions and individuals.
From the Back Cover
Emerging Civil Society in the Asia Pacific Community is a compilation of reports written by leading intellectuals and specialists from fifteen Asia Pacific countries - Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam - on their respective country's focus of activities of research institutions, foundations, and nongovernmental organizations and their interest in activities such as exchanges or studies that take place within the framework or context of Asia Pacific. This study assesses the present state of development of nongovernmental institutions in Asia Pacific countries and the regional interactions of nongovernmental efforts through the identification of existing networks or collaborative efforts, identifies major actors for such regional endeavors, and explores ways and means of further developing such nongovernmental regional underpinnings in the future. This survey is intended to provide a basis for future efforts, such as joint training activities and the creation of a database on regional activities.”
