Morrison (Note: This commentary originally appeared in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser on July 1, 2010) In 1960, the year the East-West Center was founded by Congress to promote understanding and cooperation in the Asia Pacific region, Americans largely regarded the region as significant as the secondary Cold War theater after Europe. Today, economic and resources issues dominate U.S.-Asia-Pacific relations, a consequence of the region’s rapid economic growth. Excluded from many international organizations in 1960, China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Korea are major voices at the G-20, the world’s premier international economic institution. Full Article

ng Internationalizing the Yuan By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 07 Apr 2011 08:35:29 +0000 Internationalizing the Yuan A Hong Kong bond issue is a small but important step By Christopher A. McNally (Note: This commentary originally appeared in The Walt Street Journal's Asia edition on Sept. 10, 2009) Beijing's announcement earlier this week that it will sell yuan-denominated government bonds in Hong Kong has caught a lot of attention. The Ministry of Finance bills it as a measure to "promote the yuan in neighboring countries and improve the yuan's international status." The move comes in the context of Beijing's larger goal of transforming the yuan into a global currency. While on its own this is a relative baby step, it is more significant than at first appears.

ng Pursuing North Korea Sanctions That Work By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 07 Apr 2011 08:35:33 +0000 Pursuing North Korea Sanctions That Work EWC Non-Resident Senior Fellow Marcus Noland, who has done extensive economic and political research on North Korea, argues in an op-ed published in the current issue of Newsweek ’s international edition that the Obama administration and world community are unlikely to deter North Korea from staging another missile launch simply by the threat of a return to limited and “toothless” U.N economic sanctions, which have failed in the past. However, Noland writes, other, more substantive measures have previously proved more successful in dealing with the North Korean regime, including cutting off oil deliveries from China and freezing the regime’s overseas bank assets.

The world is now in the eye of an economic storm whose scale of destruction, if not contained soon, is comparable only to that of the Great Depression in the 1930s. This crisis can perhaps be called “the first crisis of the 21 century.” Let us hope that we have seen the bottom of it all, and very soon the world is on the path of recovery. This crisis is global in nature. Although it was originated in Wall Street, it is the latest proof of how our world has become one, of how actions and decisions in a distant land can affect life in a different part of the world.
