Asia-Pacific Diplomacy
The emergence of Asia-Pacific regionalism, as witnessed by the increasing influence of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum and the annual ASEAN Post-Ministerial Conference, highlights one of the major trends in late twentieth-century geopolitics and international relations. Asia-Pacific Diplomacy traces the evolution of the Pacific economic cooperation movement by examining the diplomatic contributions of three international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) -- the scholarly Pacific Trade and Development Conference (PAFTAD), the business-oriented Pacific Basin Economic Council (PBEC), and the multipartite (academic, business, and government) Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC). Lawrence Woods also provides a historical perspective by assessing the work of the Institute of Pacific Relations, forerunner of the INGOs.

Taiwanese Firms in Southeast Asia
Reviews Taiwanese direct investment in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, which expanded rapidly during the middle 1980s when the value of their home currency skyrocketed and they lost their competitive edge at home. Points out that unlike with other nationalities, there is little correlation between company size and foreign direct investment.
