Description
The dominance of the United States in the business of the Pacific region can no longer be taken for granted. Japan, Korea and increasingly China all have potential to take control and change the face of the world's business community for good. This text argues that there are two groups of nations and ethnic communities scattered around the potential super powers: an inner ring and outer ring, and that the clues to dominance lie in the subtle shifts between these nations.
