Until the late 1980s, Japan was the only country in Asia with notable political and economic relations. Since then, however, several Asian nations have perceived growing links with the Latin American region as a means of diversifying their political and particularly economic relations while many Latin American decision-makers have increasingly recognised the strategic importance of East Asia in their foreign policy and foreign economic policy designs.

This book analyses the economic, political and socio-cultural relations between Asia and Latin America and examines their growing importance in international relations. In the first part of the book the contributors look at the policies, interests and strategies of individual Asian and Latin American states, while the second part delves into the analysis of multilateral institution-building in Asia-Latin America relations,. As such, Asia and Latin America will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate scholars of comparative politics, international relations, Asian politics and Latin American politics.

The expert contributors shed critical light on how significant developments are impacting on the global system. In particular, they consider emerging forms of global governance, and how the Asia-Pacific as a region, individual countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and the US, and regional organizations and forums like APEC are shaping the world. Uniquely, the discussion is not limited to East Asia but also takes Latin America prominently into the equation.

This timely book will prove to be a stimulating read for academics, students, researchers and policy makers with an interest in Asian studies, development and agriculture, economics, international studies.

Entwicklungszusammenarbeit ist seit jeher ein umstrittenes Thema. Welche Ansätze funktionieren, wo liegen die Probleme und an welchen Stellen ist gar ein gänzliches Scheitern feststellbar? Die Fragen sind vielfältig, gesicherte Erkenntnisse gibt es wenige. Dieses Buch trifft ein differenziertes Urteil über die Wirksamkeit von Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. Die Analyse beruht auf der umfassenden Auswertung unabhängiger Evaluierungsberichte und mehreren hundert Interviews. Die Studie umfasst detaillierte Beispiele aus über 50 Geber- und Empfängerländern auf fünf Kontinenten, die einen Zeitraum von mehr als 20 Jahren abdecken. Dabei kommt den Initiativen Deutschlands und der EU besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Untersuchung der Effektivität des Engagements im Bereich Good Governance, da es sich hierbei um den Dreh- und Angelpunkt globaler Entwicklungszusammenarbeit im 21. Jahrhundert handelt.
