Tigers' Roar : Asia's Recovery and Its Impact

Despite Asia's protracted economic troubles, the region is poised to recover and perhaps become stronger than ever.

Are there prospects for U.S.-Asian partnerships (in such areas as the environment)? Is economic cooperation between both sides of the Pacific realistic? How can Americans gain from Asia's attempts to rebuild her institutions? And will East Asia and the United States adjust to a multi-polar security and economic milieu?
