The past 150 years of economic and political development in the Pacific Basin are surveyed in this extra-ordinary series. The Pacific Century studies the interconnections between Pacific nations - and between those nations and the United States - within a geographical, cultural, and historical framework. We watch the decline of China's regional influence and Japan's rise to economic superiority; we see the dual nature of American involvement in Korea and the Phillippines; and we come to understand Indonesian struggles for a unique identity among these disparate Pacific nations. Contemporary images from 10 countries, rare American and Asian film footage, and the insights of scholars, political figures, journalists, and witnesses to pivotal events highlight this compelling look at a century and a half in the life of the pacific.
