What is Asia?

Asia as a topic appears across a wide range of academic disciplines, including international business, economics, political science, history, and cultural studies. Its sheer geographic and demographic scale makes it a compelling subject for analysis, and courses that address global development, foreign markets, colonial history, and international policy frequently ask students to engage with Asian countries as central case studies. China in particular appears as a focal point, whether students are examining energy policy, economic development, or market entry strategies for companies operating in the region.

The papers archived under this topic reflect a broad mix of approaches. Several take a business and marketing angle, analyzing how companies navigate Asian markets, assess competitive positioning, or develop strategic plans. Others adopt a developmental or historical lens, exploring how colonial histories have shaped different economic trajectories across the region, or tracing the conditions behind post-war economic growth. Policy analysis also appears frequently, with papers examining national-level decisions around energy and trade. A smaller thread of cultural and social inquiry runs through the collection as well, touching on practices like Tai Chi and questions of language learning motivation among non-heritage speakers.

A strong essay on Asia begins by narrowing its scope — choosing a specific country, policy area, time period, or industry rather than treating the continent as a monolithic subject. Evidence drawn from economic data, historical case studies, or documented business outcomes tends to carry the most weight. The most common pitfall is overgeneralizing: Asia contains enormously diverse political systems, economies, and cultures, and collapsing that diversity into broad claims weakens any argument significantly.

US Hegemony and the Continuity of Imperial Foreign Policy
To state that there are no fundamental differences between international politics in 1900-45 and afterwards would be to carry the argument to an extreme, even though the continuities are greater than the discontinuities. Above all else, the liberal, democratic states and empires in the U.S. and Western Europe were highly interventionist and aggressive in the developing world and Global South long before World War II, and this did not change in the Cold War and post-Cold War eras. Even governments that were democratically elected were sometimes overthrown and replaced by more pliable regimes, such as the ‘friendly' dictators of Central America and the Caribbean. At the same time, though, there has also been far more harmony and cooperation between the Great Powers since 1945 than in the previous fifty years, especially through NATO and the European Union. America's alliance with Japan, Britain, France and Germany has survived various stresses and strains over the decades, and even the collapse of the Soviet Union, and this requires an explanation. None of the imperial powers has fought a major war since the invention of nuclear weapons, even though they have intervened frequently against the non-nuclear states of the developing world. Perhaps this alliance is explained by political and ideological affinities, as liberals maintain, or by cultural affinities as opposed to Muslim and Orthodox civilizations, as Samuel Huntington explains—although admittedly Japan is left as quite an outlier here.
