There has been much discussion lately of a "Pacific Community." More and more politicians rhapsodise about its merits, although no one seems to know what it means or what it would look like. Is it a rhetorical device aimed at improving trans-Pacific relations and trade? Or is it a real vision for formal Asian-Pacific economic integration, including possibly multilateral security arrangements? Is it in Asia's or the United States' interest to see a more formally organized region? The book follows a six-month study by the Carnegie Endowment's Pacific Community Study Group, and sets forth a long-term approach to regional integration, and realistic short-term policy recommendations for the next five years. Stephen W. Bosworth, president of the U.S. Japan Foundation, served as Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, Ambassador to Tunisia and to the Philippines, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. Morton I.
Abramowitz, president of the Carnegie Endowment, served as Ambassador to Thailand, Ambassador to the Negotiations on Conventional Forces, Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research, and Ambassador to Turkey.
